*This product has been discontinued!*
The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated lymphocytes. It is structurally different from type I interferon and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of class II histocompatibility antigens in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to autoimmune disease. Interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) is produced mainly by T-cells and natural killer cells activated by antigens, mitogens, or alloantigens. Interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) is produced by lymphocytes expressing the surface antigens CD4 and CD8. The synthesis of Interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) is induced, among other things, by Interleukin-2, FGF-basic, and EGF. Human Interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 144 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16,879 Da.
