Quantity Shipped: 1 vial of 1 x 100K units in 0.1ml


Concentration: 1 x 10(6) units/ml

Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA).

Source: Gene obtained from mouse DNA expressed in E. coli.

Assay Used to Measure Bioactivity: Interferon was titrated with the use of the cytopathic effect inhibition assay as described [Rubinstein, S.,Familletti, P.C., and Pestka, S. (1981) "Convenient Assay for Interferons," J. Virol.37, 755-758; Familletti,P.C., Rubinstein,S., and Pestka, S. (1981)" A Convenient and RapidCytopathic Effect Inhibition Assay for Interferon," in Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 78 (S.Pestka, ed.), Academic Press, New York,387-394]. In this antiviral assays 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 A/Beta (Mu- IFN-a/B) provided by the National Institutes of Health [see Pestka, S. (1986)"Interferon Standards and General Abbreviations, in Methods in Enzymology (S. Pestka, ed.), Academic Press, New York 119, 14-23]. Unit of activity measured on mouse L929 cells  with encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV).
