Anti-interferon alpha 17 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the IFNA17 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 IFNA, INFA, LEIF2C1, IFN-alpha-17, interferon alpha-88, interferon alpha-I', interferon alpha-T, and IFN-alphaI. Over 110 citations in the literature describe the use of interferon alpha 17 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
