Function
Produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN-gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions. It is a potent activator of macrophages, it has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons. -
Tissue specificity
Released primarily from activated T lymphocytes. -
Involvement in disease
In Caucasians, genetic variation in IFNG is associated with the risk of aplastic anemia (AA) [MIM:609135]. AA is a rare disease in which the reduction of the circulating blood cells results from damage to the stem cell pool in bone marrow. In most patients, the stem cell lesion is caused by an autoimmune attack. T-lymphocytes, activated by an endogenous or exogenous, and most often unknown antigenic stimulus, secrete cytokines, including IFN-gamma, which would in turn be able to suppress hematopoiesis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the type II (or gamma) interferon family. -
Post-translational
modificationsProteolytic processing produces C-terminal heterogeneity, with proteins ending alternatively at Gly-150, Met-157 or Gly-161. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. - Information by UniProt

Wild-type A549 control cells or IP-10 knockout A549 cells (ab266969), grown to 40% confluency, were stimulated with Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (ab259377) at 100 ng/ml and Recombinant human TNF alpha protein (ab259410) at 10 ng/ml or vehicle control for 16 or 32 hours.
THP-1 cells, grown to 40% confluency, were stimulated with Recombinant Human Interferon gamma protein (ab259377) at 200 ng/ml and LPS at 50 ng/mL or vehicle control for 24 hours.
The concentrations of IP-10 (CXCL10) in cell culture supernatants were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the IP-10 standard curves. IP-10 from vehicle control samples were measured in undiluted supernatants and the treated samples were diluted 200 times. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant Killing/apoptosis of HT-29 cells is 0.34 ng/mL corresponding to a Specific Activity of 2.94 x 106 IU/mg.
