Validation:

Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 2) shows similar IFN-beta expression profile in human and mouse cell lines detected by two independent anti-IFN-beta antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 4243 against central domain and 64-239 against human recombinant protein.  IFN-beta proteins are detected in the most tested cell lines at different expression levels by the two independent antibodies. 

Recombinant Protein Test (Figure 3): Anti-IFN-beta antibodies (4243) detected human IFN-beta recombinant protein.

Isoforms:
Human IFN-beta has one (187aa, 22kD). Mouse IFN-beta has one isoform (182aa, 22kD) and Rat IFN-beta also has one isoform (184aa, 22kD). 4243 can detect human isoform, and possibly detect mouse and rat.

Background:
IFN-beta Antibody: Type I Interferons (IFN-alpha/beta) are produced primarily in response to viral infection by "Natural IFN-producing cells" (IPCs) as part of the host immune response and can also inhibit the development of tumors. IFN-beta binding by its receptor results in the activation of the tyrosine kinases Jak1 and Tyk2 and phosphorylation of members of the STAT family of transcription factors, leading to the transcription and expression of the immune response genes. More recently, several members of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family were found to stimulate the production IFN-beta. IFN-beta is currently used clinically for treatment of tumors, infections and multiple sclerosis.
