The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration:
0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C.
Application:
FC - Quality tested WB1*, IP1*, IHC(Frozen)3* - *This application has been reported in the literature.
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this antibody is tested by immunofluorescence staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 1.0 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes:
Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: Western blotting1 under non-reducing conditions, immunoprecipitation1, immunohistochemistry3 of snap frozen sections, and blocking1 of IFN-γ binding to IFN-γ R α chain. For most successful immunofluorescent staining results, it may be important to maximize signal over background by using a relatively bright fluorochrome-antibody conjugate (Cat. No. 308606) or by using a high sensitivity, three-layer staining technique (e.g., including a biotinylated anti-mouse IgG second step (Cat. No. 405303), followed by SAv-PE (Cat. No. 405204)). The LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg, Azide-Free, 0.2 μm sterile-filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 308604).

Description:
CDw119 is a 90-100 kD type I transmembrane protein, also known as IFN-γ R α chain or IFN-γRI. The IFN-γ receptor is a complex of a high affinity IFN-γ-binding chain (aka, IFN-γ R α chain) and a second accessory protein required for signal transduction known as IFN-γ R β chain. The IFN-γ R α chain is a member of the class II cytokine receptor family. Binding of IFN-γ induces receptor dimerization and internalization. Signal transduction involves Jak1 and Jak2 protein kinases and involves STAT1 activation. The IFN-γ receptor is expressed at moderate levels on virtually every cell with the exception of erythrocytes.
