Description

Description: This gene encodes a soluble cytokine that is a member of the type II interferon class. The encoded protein is secreted by cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. The active protein is a homodimer that binds to the interferon gamma receptor which triggers a cellular response to viral and microbial infections. Mutations in this gene are associated with an increased susceptibility to viral, bacterial and parasitic infections and to several autoimmune diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Application Notes

IFN-γ is a dimerized soluble cytokine that is the only member of the type II class of interferons. The importance of IFNγ in the immune system stems in part from its ability to inhibit viral replication directly, and most importantly from its immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effects. As reported, IFNγ is an important activator of human monocytic THP-1 cells. Therefore, THP-1 cells were incubated in RPMI-1640 with various concentration of IFN-γ, then cells were observed by inverted microscope everyday. After stimulated with IFN-γ (2 ng/ml) for 5 days, morphological changes occurred in THP-1 cells which displayed the shape of fusiform or polygon and were more likely to adhere.
