MyBioSource.com's Rabbit Anti-Interferon alpha 2/IFNA2 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: EIA, Immunoassay, and ELISA. The Rabbit Anti-Interferon alpha 2/IFNA2 Antibody was generated using IFNA2, and interferon alpha 2 as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
IFNA2 (Interferon Alpha 2) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on chromosome 9. The encoded protein is a cytokine produced in response to viral infection. Type I Interferons (IFNs) are well-known cytokines that exert antiviral activity, antitumor activity, and immunomodulatory effects. Interferon tau (IFNT), a type I IFN similar to alpha IFNs (IFNA), is the pregnancy recognition signal produced by the ruminant conceptus. Among the IFN-alpha genes, a total of 28 different sequence variants have been described. The three principal subtypes of IFNalpha-2 are designated alpha-2a, alpha-2b, and alpha-2c. IFNalpha-2b is being the predominant allele while IFNalpha-2a is less predominant and IFNalpha-2c only a minor allelic variant
