IFNG ELISA Kit (Human) (OKBB00161)

Description of target: Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is an inflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the development of fibrosis in inflamed tissues. The production of IFN-gamma, which is under genetic control, can influence the development of fibrosis in lung allografts.1 IFN-gamma is also produced by natural killer (NK) cells and most prominently by CD8 cytotoxic T cells, and is vital for the control of microbial pathogens.2 Interferon gamma is believed to be crucial for host defence against many infections. Genetically determined variability in IFN-gamma and expression might be important for the development of tuberculosis.3 IFN-gamma activates human macrophage oxidative metabolism and antimicrobial activity.4 In addition to having antiviral activity, IFN-gamma has important immunoregulatory functions. IFN-gamma plays an important role in the control of neointima proliferation.5;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: < 2 pg/ml
