Plasma sample should be collected using EDTA or citrate as an anticoagulant. Heparin is not recommended for use in this assay.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis assay employs an antibody specific for bovine IFN gamma coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and the immobilized antibody captures IFN gamma present in the samples. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-bovine IFN gamma antibody is added. After washing away any unbound biotinylated antibody, an HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. After incubation, the wells are again washed, followed by the addition of a TMB substrate solution to the wells. Color will develop in proportion to the amount of IFN gamma bound in each well. Addition of the Stop Solution will change the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.\u003cbr\u003e\nWe have not been able to detect endogenous Bovine Interferon gamma in normal serum with ab193681, only in serum spiked with Bovine Interferon gamma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Storage information--20°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nInterferon gamma (IFN-γ) also known as type II interferon is a cytokine that plays an important role in immune response. IFN-γ has a molecular weight of about 17 kDa and is produced by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. IFN-γ binds to the interferon gamma receptor initiating a signaling cascade that activates various genes involved in immune functions. It is expressed mainly in activated immune cells within lymphoid tissues and inflamed sites during immune responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis cytokine is significant in promoting macrophage activation enhancing the antigen presentation process and boosting the antimicrobial activity of phagocytes. IFN-γ is not part of a larger protein complex but works as a homodimer in signal transduction. Its production heightens the Th1 immune response by stimulating the differentiation of naïve T cells into Th1 cells which is essential for effective cellular immunity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nIFN-γ is integrally involved in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway alongside another critical cytokine Interleukin-12. This pathway further amplifies the immune response by regulating the expression of genes associated with cellular defense mechanisms. IFN-γ also interacts with the NF-kB pathway influencing inflammation and the activation of further immune responses. These interactions show a network of cooperativity with proteins like STAT1 and NF-kB essential for executing its biological roles.\u003cbr\u003e\nIFN-γ is linked to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis where its elevated levels can exacerbate inflammatory processes. It connects to other proteins like TNF-alpha in promoting the inflammatory cascade. Moreover lower levels of IFN-γ are associated with a heightened risk of infections like tuberculosis demonstrating its vital role in pathogen defense. Therefore understanding IFN-γ and its interactions can be key in developing therapeutic approaches against these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843792130217,"sku":"ab193681","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab193681","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
