Background

Interferon alpha 2 is a type 1 interferon. Interferon alpha 2 is secreted by virus-infected cells and inhibits other cells from further infection. Recombinant human interferon alpha 2 has been approved for therapeutic application in a range of human oncological and viral diseases. Three Interferon alpha 2 subvariants (2A, 2B, 2C) differ by only one or two amino acids at positions 23 and/or 34 of the mature protein (PMID: 25982860; 10672347; 1694761).

Christine (Verified Customer) (12-14-2021)

I induced the expression of interferon responsive genes by treating HEK293T cells for 24 or 48h with various concentrations of IFNalpha2a. Samples were then analysed by western blot for the detection of an IFN induced protein, which was absent at t=0, clearly induced at 24h and even better expressed at 48h. The lowest amount of IFN analysed here was 3 ng/ml. I also tried IFN beta (cat number HZ-1298) at the same time and the results were also very good, identical.
