Extra Details:: Recombinant Chicken interferon alpha (IFN alpha) shares structural and biological properties with mammalian IFN1. Recombinant chicken IFN alpha (rChIFNa) has been shown to act as a highly potent anti-viral agent in vitro (Schultz, U. et al. 1995). rChIFNa also resulted in a noticeable delay in the progression of tumors in CC progressor chickens infected with Rous Sarcoma Virus, when admimistered intravenously (Plachy, J. et al. 1999). Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to chicken Interferon alpha expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~19kD Activity: 1x10e7units/mg Applications: Suitable for use in Functional Assays. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
