{"product_id":"abm219195","title":"Recombinant Ovine Interferon-tau protein","description":"\u003ch3\u003eBackground\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIFN-τ is a new class of type I IFN that is secreted by the trophoblast and is the signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy in sheep. IFN-τ has potent immunosuppressive and antiviral activities similar to other type I IFN but is less cytotoxic than IFN-α\/β. The current investigation concerns the effect of recombinant ovine IFN-tau (rOvIFN-τ) on the modulation of MHC class I and II expression on cloned mouse cerebrovascular endothelial (CVE) cells. IFN-tau induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat1 and up regulated the expression of MHC class I on CVE. One proposed action by which type I IFN reduce the relapse rate in MS is via interference with IFN-γ-induced MHC class II expression. IFN-τwas shown to down regulate IFN-γ-induced MHC class II expression on CVE and, hence, may be of potential therapeutic value in down regulating inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). IFN-τdid not upregulate the expression of MHC class II on CVE. IFN-τalso inhibited the replication of Theilers virus in CVE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eExpression system\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePichia Pastoris\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePurity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u0026gt; 97 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eApproximately 19.9 kDa, a single glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 172 amino acids.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eEndotoxin\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eLess than 0.1 EU\/μg of rOvIFN-τ as determined by LAL method.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eForm\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
