Interferons (IFN) are a family of cytokines with potent antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory properties, classified based on their binding specificity to cell surface receptors . Human IFNA2 was originally cloned in the early ‘80s and now more than a dozen closely related IFN alpha subtypes have been identified in both the human and mouse genome, […]

IFNA2 (Interferon Alpha 2) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on chromosome 9. The encoded protein is a cytokine produced in response to viral infection. Type I Interferons (IFNs) are well-known cytokines that exert antiviral activity, antitumor activity, and immunomodulatory effects. Interferon tau (IFNT), a […]

Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), also known as Type II interferon or immune interferon, is a pleiotropic cytokine which is now recognised as an important modulator of the immune response. Mature human IFN-γ exists as a non-covalently linked homodimer of 20-25 kDa variably glycosylated subunits. It shares 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with rhesus IFN-γ, 59%_x001e_64% with […]

IFN gamma, also known as IFNG, is a secreted protein that belongs to the type II interferon family. IFN gamma is produced predominantly by natural killer and natural killer T cells as part of the innate immune response, and by CD4 and CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte effector T cells once antigen-specific immunity develops. IFN gamma […]

G-CSF is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the development of committed progenitor cells to neutrophils and enhances the functional activities of the mature end-cell. It is produced in response to specific stimulation by a variety of cells, including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and bone marrow stroma. G-CSF is being used clinically to facilitate hematopoietic […]

Macrophage colony stimulating factor 1, also known as CSF-1 and M-CSF, is a one-way membrane protein that forms homodimers or heterodimers via disulfide bonds. M-CSF is a major regulator of macrophage survival, proliferation and differentiation. M-CSF can promote monocyte survival, monocyte transformation to macrophage and macrophage proliferation.
