Discription：Interferon-gamma （IFN-γ） , also known as Type II interferon or immune interferon, is a dimerized soluble cytokine that is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral, some bacterial and protozoal infections. It is produced primarily by CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes as well as natural killer （NK） and natural killer T （NKT） cells. The primary role for IFN-γ is the activation of macrophages to increase phagocytosis, tumoricidal properties, and intracellular killing of pathogens. IFN-γ also increases expression of MHC antigens by macrophages and this facilitates antigen presentation to T cells. The recombinant Interferon-gamma s a 16.9kDa protein consisting of 144 amino acid.
