Store at -20°C or below for retention of full activity. Thaw product vial by incubation in cold tap water until just thawed. Aliquot and refreeze unused contents to minimize effects of freeze thawing. Refreezing should be done on dry ice or in a dry ice/alcohol bath. Further dilution of product should be in buffers containing protein such as 0.1% BSA or tissue culture media with serum.
IFN-omega is a type I interferon that can be induced by virus-infected leukocytes. Members of the type I interferon family, which includes IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and IFN-omega, signal through the IFNAR-1/IFNAR-2 receptor complex, and exert antiviral and antiproliferative activities. IFN-omega exhibits about 75% sequence homology with IFN-alpha, and contains two conserved disulfide bonds that are necessary for full biological activity.
