Good news for the interferon domain this week with the launch of a new kit: the Verikine Human Interferon Gamma Receptor 1 (IFNGR1) ELISA Kit. This immunoassay provides researchers with a high quality product and excellent data reproducibility for this area.

Here is a photo sent by Emelyne who is back from a symposium entitled “Gut Microbiota, Metabolic Disorders and Beyond”  in Newport (Rhode Island).

For humans, IFN-α consists of a group of proteins that are greater than 85% homologous by amino acid sequence.  A lot of individual human IFN-α subtypes have been identified and many have different properties. For the moment, we don’t know exactly why there are multiple IFN-α subtypes. A variety of studies suggested they possess overlapping but also unique sets of biological activities. Quantification of IFN is essential but usually methods don’t take account all IFN types. In this post, I would like to focus on a relevant ELISA kit to avoid this problem.

Here is a photo sent by Valeria who is back from the 26th ECCMID in Amsterdam.

Thanks Valeria for this photo and all the best for the future!
