Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Against Human Interferon Gamma (MMHG-1)
Product Number: 21500-1
Size: 500 µg

Product Information

Description: Mouse Anti-Human Interferon Gamma, neutralizing

Clone: MMHG-1

Contents: 500 μg/vial

Volume: 0.1 ml

Concentration: 5.0 mg/ml

Buffer: phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)

Antigen: human interferon gamma

Isotype: IgG1

Bioactivity: binds to and neutralizes human interferon gamma

Assay Used to Measure Bioactivity: One neutralization unit is the amount of antiserum required to neutralize one unit of human interferon gamma (Hu-IFN-γ) to a 50% endpoint.  Interferon was titrated with the use of the cytopathic effect inhibition assay as described [Rubinstein, S., Familletti, P.C., and Pestka, S. (1981) "Convenient Assay for Interferons," J. Virol. 37, 755‑758; Familletti, P.C., Rubinstein, S., and Pestka, S. (1981) "A Convenient and Rapid Cytopathic Effect Inhibition Assay for Interferon," in Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 78 (S. Pestka, ed.), Academic Press, New York, 387‑394].  In this antiviral assay for interferon about 1 unit/ml of interferon is the quantity necessary to produce a cytopathic effect of 50%.  The units are determined with respect to the international reference standard for Hu-IFN-γ provided by the National Institutes of Health [see Pestka, S. (1986) "Interferon Standards and General Abbreviations," in Methods in Enzymology (S. Pestka, ed.), Academic Press, New York 119 , 14‑23].
