Biological Information
Purity>95%
SourceGene obtained from mouse DNA expressed in E. coli.
Specific ActivityDetermined by assaying inhibition of virus-induced cytopathic effect. In this antiviral assay for interferon, about 1 unit/mL of interferon is the quantity necessary to produce a cytopathic effect of 50%. The units are determined with respect to the international reference standard for mouse interferon alpha (IFNalpha) provided by the National Institutes of Health. Unit of activity measured on mouse L929 cells with encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV).
