Background

IFN beta is a member of type I family of interferons. It binds to the IFNα/β receptor (IFNAR), activating the Jak/ STAT pathway. Activation of this signaling pathway results in upregulating genes that inhibit viral infection and regulate MHC class I antigens. It is primarily produced by fibroblasts and monocytes. In addition to inhibiting viral infection, IFN beta is also involved in regulating and activating immune response against bacteria, parasite and tumor cells. Multiple sclerosis is characterized by a deficiency of IFN beta 1. An injectable form of IFN beta 1 is used for MS treatment (PMID: 22222875; 29258190; 8602746; 8469318).

I asked the students who worked with it and they think it works fine. No bad surprises but also nothing special happen.

I induced the expression of interferon responsive genes by treating HEK293T cells for 24 or 48h with various concentrations of IFN beta. Samples were then analysed by western blot for the detection of an IFN induced protein, which was absent at t=0, clearly induced at 24h and even better expressed at 48h. The lowest amount of IFN analysed here was 3 ng/ml. I also tried IFN alpha 2a (cat number HZ-1066) at the same time and the results were also very good, identical.
