Anti-interferon alpha 16 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the IFNA16 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 189 amino acid residues and a mass of 21.7 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. A member of the Alpha/beta interferon protein family, it is known to be involved with adaptive immune responses and B cell differentiation. Other names for this target antigen include IFN-alphaO, IFN-alpha-N-protein, interferon alpha-WA, and IFN-alpha-16. Over 90 citations in the literature describe the use of interferon alpha 16 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunofluorescence is also a common application.
