General description
Human Interferon alpha-2 (IFNa2) is a cytokine belonging to the IFN family exhibiting antiviral, antitumor and antiproliferative effects on immune response. IFNa2 is secreted by viral infected cells and acts to inhibit viral infection. It has been shown to play a role in autoimmune diseases such as lupus and myositis. The mechanisms of action underlying the pathogenic role that IFNa and IFNß play in autoimmunity is not well understood but elucidating their role will lead to a better understanding of these cytokines in chronic inflammation and immunity.
Application
Inflammatory Disease / Immune Response / Autoimmune Disease
Features and Benefits
- Sensitivity that sees what others miss: Captures cytokine fluctuations that standard ELISAs overlook, perfect for subtle immune shifts.
- Track Early Antiviral Responses: IFN-α2 is a key player in innate immunity; this kit helps detect its earliest signals in viral infection models.
- Advance Autoimmune Disease Research: Ideal for studying IFN-α2’s role in conditions like lupus, myositis, and other chronic inflammatory diseases.
- Wide Dynamic Range: Accurately quantifies IFN-α2 across a broad concentration spectrum, suitable for both baseline and elevated immune responses.
