IFN-β Antibody (MIB-2B2.2): sc-53592

IFN-β Antibody (MIB-2B2.2) is a hamster monoclonal IgG antibody that detects IFN-β in mouse samples through western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP) applications. IFN-β monoclonal antibody (MIB-2B2.2) is an Armenian hamster antibody raised against recombinant IFN-β of mouse origin. IFN-β (MIB-2B2.2) antibody, a crucial member of the type I interferon family, plays a significant role in the immune response by modulating the activity of various immune cells and enhancing the antiviral state of neighboring cells. IFN-β is primarily produced by fibroblasts and epithelial cells in response to viral infections, and IFN-β′s ability to induce the expression of numerous interferon-stimulated genes is vital for establishing an effective antiviral defense. IFN-β′s importance extends beyond antiviral properties; IFN-β also has antitumor effects and serves in clinical settings for treating conditions such as multiple sclerosis and certain cancers. IFN-β′s interaction with type I interferon receptor initiates a signaling cascade that leads to transcription factor activation, ultimately resulting in the expression of genes critical for immune regulation. Anti-IFN-β antibody (MIB-2B2.2) helps researchers gain valuable insights into the functional dynamics of this important cytokine and its role in various biological processes. IFN-β exists as a single isoform, unlike other type I interferons such as IFN-α, which has multiple subtypes; this unique characteristic ensures a more uniform response in antiviral signaling and simplifies therapeutic applications.

The preferred IFN-β antibody is IFN-β Antibody (7F-D3): sc-57201.
