Anti-IFNW1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein interferon omega 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 195 amino acid residues and a mass of 22.3 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. A member of the Alpha/beta interferon protein family, IFNW1 is known to be involved with adaptive immune responses and B cell differentiation. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include IFN-omega 1, interferon omega-1 and interferon alpha-II-1. Some IFNW1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
