Purified anti-rat IFN-gamma

Interferon-gamma is a potent multifunctional cytokine which is secreted primarily by activated NK cells and T cells. Originally characterized based on anti-viral activities, IFN-gamma also exerts anti-proliferative, immunoregulatory, and proinflammatory activities. IFN-gamma can upregulate MHC class I and II antigen expression by antigen-presenting cells. The DB-1 antibody reacts with rat and mouse interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). The DB-1 antibody can neutralize the bioactivity of natural or recombinant IFN-gamma. The DB-1 antibody has been well characterized for ELISPOT, ELISA, intracellular staining, Western blotting, IHC, and neutralization (in vitro and in vivo).
