Product Specific Information
Description: Anti-human IFN-omega (OMG-2) neutralize the antiviral activity of IFN-omega.
In the human genome, the IFN-omega gene family consists of seven members located on chromosome 9. However, only one of these genes is functional giving rise to the IFN-omega protein, whereas the others are non-functional pseudogenes. The IFN-omega gene is not expressed in unstimulated cells. Viral infection results in expression of the gene giving rise to the N-glycosylated protein consisting of 172 or 174 amino acids and an apparent molecular mass of about 25kDa. A single carbohydrate group consists mainly of biantennary complex oligosaccharides with variable amounts of N-acetyl neuraminic acid. In quantitative terms, IFN-omega is a major component of human leukocyte IFN; with a contribution to its total antiviral activity estimated to be in the range of 10 -15 %.
Applications Tested: ELISA.
Target Information
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.
