There are a number of proteins that are soluble in water, and cytokine as this are normally dimerized in nature. Essentially described as immune interferon by E.F. Wheelock, this Human Interferon γ cytokine is specifically a product of leucocytes that are found in humans, and are consistently stimulated by antigens. As an unconjugated protein, sets associated with this cytokine have its wide influence in in vitro fertilization. This gamma cytokine is produced by T lymphocytes, with its molecular weight varying within 32,000-73,000 recombinant human oligomers.

Primary biological functions associated with Human Interferon γ:

This cytokine, Human Interferon γ, has an important role to play in antiviral activity, and has other immunoregulatory functions. Having a role in activation of macrophages, it acts as an anti-proliferative agent for cells that are transformed, and has potential role in antitumor as well as antiviral effects of interferon that are specifically of type 1. What is specifically noteworthy in case of these cells is that Human Interferon γ cytokine, unlike other types of the same branch has no role in mouse or rat cells. They are primarily active only on human cells, having a chain length of 143AA.

As part of type 2 interferon, this Human Interferon γ is important for inherent and adaptive immunity against certain bacterial, viral and protozoans activities. Activating the macrophages, this also has a role in a number of autoimmune and auto inflammatory diseases. Specifically known for its immunomodulatory, and immunostimulatory effects, they inhibit rapid replication of viruses. Further research in this zone is being carried out by Human Interferon γ (IFN-γ) ELISA Kit.
