May be stored for twelve months without detectable loss of activity. Protect from prolonged exposure to light and do not freeze. Sodium azide is toxic to cells and should be disposed of properly so flush with large volumes of water during disposal.
The type I interferons, IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, are a group of structurally and functionally related proteins that are induced by either viruses or double-stranded RNA and are defined by their ability to confer an antiviral state in cells. IFN-alpha and IFN-beta appear to compete with one another for binding to a common cell surface receptor, while immune IFN (IFN-gamma) binds to a distinct receptor. This distinct receptor, IFN-alphaR, is only weakly responsive to type I interferons, in contrast to IFN-alpha/betaR, which binds to and responds effectively to IFN-beta and to several of the IFN-alpha subtypes. IFN-alpha/betaR is expressed as two alternatively spliced transcripts, designated IFN-alpha/betaRalpha (IFN-alpha/betaR1) and IFN-alpha/betaRbeta (IFN-alpha/betaR2), both of which are involved in signal transduction and ligand binding.
