Human Interferon-alpha 2a protein

SKU: orb80038

Description

Interferon Alpha Human 2a Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 19241 Dalton.The Interferon-a 2a gene was obtained from human leukocytes.The IFN-A 2a is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: FA, HPLC, SDS-PAGE
• Application Notes:
  < strong>Experiment Notes: Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.924 as the extinction coefficient for 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using calibrated solution of IFN-a 2a as Reference Standard.
