IFN-gamma Products

Description

IFN-gamma, a type II interferon and an acid-labile interferon, is mainly produced by CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells activated by antigens, mitogens or alloantigens. IFN-gamma shows no significant homology with IFN-beta or IFN-alpha. IFN-gamma has antiviral and antiparasitic activities and exhibits also immunoregulatory and proinflammatory activities. IFN-gamma induces cytokine production and promotes antigen presentation by up regulating the expression of MHC proteins as well as other antigen proteins. In contrast to other interferons, which are mostly antiviral, the main activity of IFN-gamma seems to be immunomodulatory. Human IFN-gamma is species-specific and is only biologically active in human and primate cells.
