IFN‑ alpha Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Cotton Rat IFN‑ alpha Antibody. Recombinant Cotton Rat IFN-a (Cys109Tyr) (Catalog # 1082-CR) reduces the Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV)-induced cytopathy in the LCRT cotton rat fibrosarcoma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by crystal violet staining. Inhibition of EMCV activity elicited by Recombinant Cotton Rat IFN-a (Cys109Tyr) (0.2 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Cotton Rat IFN-a Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1082). The ND50 is typically 0.015-0.065 µg/mL.

Background: IFN-alpha
Interferon-alpha, also known as leukocyte interferon, comprises a group of related but distinct proteins that share over 95% amino acid sequence homology. They are members of the type I interferon family which share a common cell surface receptor composed of two subunits, a 100 kDa ligand-binding subunit (IFN-alpha R1) and a 125 kDa subunit (IFN-alpha R2) that is involved both in ligand-binding and signal transduction. IFN-alpha is expressed primarily by leukocytes upon activation by viruses, bacteria, cytokines and growth factors. IFN-alpha has been shown to have anti-viral and immunomodulatory activities on target cells. It can also inhibit cell proliferation as well as induce apoptosis (1, 2).
Cotton rat IFN-alpha 1 cDNA encodes a 189 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a putative 23 aa signal sequence and a 166 aa mature protein. The protein contains five cysteines, four of which are involved in two intrachain disulfide bonds. Cotton rat IFN-alpha 1 shares 52%, 67%, 68% and 72% aa sequence identity to human, rat, hamster and mouse IFN-alpha 1, respectively.
