Description:

Human type I interferons (IFNs) including IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-ε, IFN-κ and IFN-ω are a large subgroup of interferon proteins that help regulate the activity of the immune system. The IFN-α proteins are produced by leukocytes. They are mainly involved in innate immune response against viral infection. All type I IFNs bind to a specific cell surface receptor complex known as the IFN-α/β receptor (IFNAR) that consists of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 chains. Once released, type I interferons will activate molecules which prevent the virus from producing and replicating its RNA and DNA. Overall, IFN-α can be used to treat hepatitis B and C infections. BioVision’s INF-alpha ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of INF-alpha in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants in 90 minutes. The density of color is proportional to the amount of INF-alpha captured from the samples.
