PRODUCT INFORMATION DESCRIPTION Content: Anti-mIL-28b-IgG purified antibody is provided azide-free Anti-mIL-28b-IgG is a fully mouse monoclonal antibody against and lyophilized. It is available in two pack sizes: mIL -28B. This autoantibody was raised in mice by a proprietary - 100 µg: mabg-mil28b method designed to induce the production of anti - antibodies - 5 x 100 µg: mabg-mil28b-5 directly in the animal. Anti-mIL-28b-IgG has been selected for its Target: natural and recombinant mouse interleukin-28B (IL-28B) ability to efficiently neutralize the biological activity of mIL-28B . Specificity: Reacts with mouse IL-28A and mouse IL-28B. This antibody is produced in hybridomas and purified by affinity No cross -reactivity with human IL-28A or human IL-28B. chromatography. Clone: 3C11 Isotype: Mouse IgG1 APPLICATIONS Immunogen: Mouse IL-28B protein expressed in Swiss mice Anti-mIL-28b-IgG is a neutralizing antibody, it blocks mIL-28-induced following DNA immunization m cellular activation in vitro , as described below. Furthermore, as Formulation: 0.2 m filtered solution in a sodium phosphate buffer anti -mIL-28b-IgG is a mouse anti -mouse antibody, it could be used for with glycine, saccharose and stabilizing agents neutralization assays in vivo . Antibody resuspension Add 1 ml of sterile water per vial to obtain a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. Neutralization Storage The exact concentration of antibody required to neutralize mIL-28 - Product is shipped at room temperature. Store lyophilized antibody activity is dependent on the cytokine concentration, cell type and at -20 °C. Product is stable for at least 1 year. growth conditions. InvivoGen has determined the neutralization dose - Reconstituted antibody is stable for 1 month when stored at 4 °C and for this antibody using recombinant mIL-28B and HEK -Blue ™ IFN -a/b for 1 year when aliquoted and stored at -20 °C. Avoid repeated cells . These cells were generated by stable transfection of HEK293 freeze-thaw cycles. cells with the mouse STAT2 and IRF9 to obtain a fully active Quality control type I IFN signaling pathway. They were further transfected with a - This product has been validated for neutralization using cellular assays. SEAP (secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase) reporter under - The absence of bacterial contamination (e.g. lipoproteins and the control of the IFN- α/β inducible ISG54 promoter . endotoxins) has been confirmed using HEK-Blue ™ TLR2 and m ™ Anti-mIL-28b-IgG (10 ng-1 g/ml) and a negative control antibody HEK -Blue TLR4 cells. (e.g. Mouse IgG1 Control which targets E. coli β-galactosidase) were incubated with recombinant mIL-28B at 10 ng/ml for 30 min prior to BACKGROUND the addition of the HEK-Blue ™ IFN- a/b cells . Neutralization of Interleukin-28 (IL-28) is a member of the type III interferon (IFN IL -28B-induced signaling by anti-mIL-28b-IgG was determined after lambda) cytokine family that exhibits several common features with a 24-hour incubation by assessing SEAP production using 1, 2 type I IFNs: antiviral activity and antitumor activity . IL-28 exerts its QUANTI -Blue ™, a SEAP detection reagent. QUANTI-Blue ™ turns action following binding to a heterodimeric protein complex blue following cytokine stimulation but remains pink if neutralization composed of two subunits, IL-28 receptor alpha and IL-10 receptor occurs. SEAP levels can be assessed by the naked eye or beta, leading to signaling through the Jak/Stat pathway and inducing spectrophotometrically by reading the optical density at 620 -655 nm. the expression of IFN-stimulated genes. IL-28 comes in two isoforms, IL-28A (also known as interferon lambda 2) and IL -28B (also known RELATED PRODUCTS as ) 1. The IL -28A isoform has been implicated in the promotion of Th1 cell differentiation and the inhibition of Product Catalog Code Th2 -mediated allergic inflammation 3.
