  • Ovine IFN-γ (catalog RP0491V) is a yeast-derived cytokine supplied lyophilized without carrier protein in 10% trehalose; it has no affinity tags and is naturally endotoxin-free, and should be reconstituted in sterile PBS that contains at least 0.1% carrier protein. The protein is ~16.9 kDa, 143 amino acids long (full sequence provided), and >98% pure by SDS-PAGE, with 100% amino-acid homology to sheep. Store at -20°C (stable up to twelve months from date of receipt; working aliquots with carrier protein stable ~3 months) and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Product origin is the USA. It is commonly used to study IFN-γ signaling and immune responses (including macrophage activation and Th1 immunity); typical experimental uses include cell-culture stimulation and dosing studies, signaling and gene-expression assays, ELISA and neutralization assays, flow-cytometry and Western blot controls, and antibody generation/validation.

  • Ovine Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a type II interferon cytokine that plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity and regulation of antimicrobial and inflammatory responses in sheep (Ovis aries). IFN-γ is produced primarily by activated T helper 1 (Th1) cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells following stimulation by intracellular pathogens or immune signaling molecules such as IL-12 and IL-18. Ovine IFN-γ binds to the interferon-γ receptor (IFNGR1/IFNGR2) expressed on many immune and non-immune cells, activating intracellular signaling through the JAK-STAT pathway, particularly STAT1, which induces the expression of numerous interferon-stimulated genes involved in antigen presentation, macrophage activation, and antimicrobial defense. In sheep, IFN-γ is critical for activation of macrophages, enhancement of MHC class I and II expression, and control of intracellular pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Ovine IFN-γ is widely studied in veterinary immunology and livestock disease research; for example, IFN-γ responses are commonly measured in studies of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection (Johne's disease), where IFN-γ production by antigen-stimulated lymphocytes is used as an indicator of cell-mediated immune responses and early infection in sheep.
