Human IFN‑ beta Antibody

IFN‑ beta Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Human IFN-beta Antibody.

Recombinant Human IFN-beta (8499-IF) reduces the Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV)-induced cytopathy in the HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by crystal violet staining. Inhibition of EMCV activity elicited by Recombinant Human IFN-beta (50 pg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human IFN-beta Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF814). The ND₅₀ is typically 0.100 - 1.00 µg/mL.

Detection of IFN-beta by Western Blot

IE1 expression leads to nuclear accumulation of STAT1.A) TetR and TetR-IE1 cells were treated with doxycycline for 72 h. Where indicated, TetR cells were incubated in the presence of IFN-gamma or IFN-alpha for 1 h before samples were fixed with paraformaldehyde and examined by indirect immunofluorescence coupled to confocal microscopy. Samples were simultaneously reacted with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against STAT1 (left) or STAT2 (right) and a mouse monoclonal antibody against IE1, followed by incubation with a rabbit-specific Alexa Fluor 546 conjugate and a mouse-specific Alexa Fluor 633 conjugate. TetRnlsEGFP (TetR) fluorescence is shown to visualize nuclei. Additionally, merge images of STAT, IE1, and TetR signals are presented. Scale bar, 10 µm. B) TetR-IE1 cells were treated with doxycycline for 0 h, 24 h, or 72 h. Cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts were prepared and subjected to immunoblotting with anti-STAT1, anti-STAT2, anti-GAPDH, anti-H2A, and anti-IE1 antibodies. For the right panel, TetR-IE1 cells were treated with IFN-alpha or IFN-gamma for 1 h before fractionation.
