Neutralization
One neutralization unit is the amount of antiserum required to
neutralize one unit ofmouse interferon beta (Mu-IFN-beta) to a 50%
endpoint. Interferon was titrated with the use of the cytopathic effect
inhibition assay [Rubinstein, S., Familletti, P.C., and Pestka, S.
(1981) J. Virol. 37, 755-758] using L929 cells and
EMCV as the challenge virus. In this antiviral assay for interferon,
about 2.5 unit/ml of interferon is the quantity necessary to produce
acytopathic effect of 50%. The units are determined by use of a
laboratory standard calibrated with respect to the international
reference standard for Mu-IFN-beta provided by the National Institutes of
Health [Gb02-902-511]. This materialis prepared specifically for
effective neutralization of Mu-IFN-beta.

Shipping
The product is shipped with dry ice or equivalent. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
Stability & Storage
After receipt, the product may be stored at -20°C for short-term use (≤ 6 months). For long-term storage, we recommend storing the product at -70°C or below for retention of full activity. When thawing, the contents of the tube should be apportioned in separate tubes so that freezing and thawing is kept to a minimum.Refreezing should be done on dry ice or in a dry ice/alcohol bath. Further dilution of the product should be in buffers containing protein such as 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA).
Background: IFN-beta
IFN-beta (Interferon-beta) is a cytokine that is produced by fibroblasts and pathogen-exposed dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. It signals through the heterodimeric IFN-alpha/beta Receptor. IFN-beta-deficient mice show increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a disease model of human multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, IFN-beta has been shown to suppress the Th17 cell response in both MS and EAE and has commonly been used as a treatment for MS.

Kamath et al. (J. Immunol. 2005) used a similar cocktail to demonstrate that dendritic cell derived Type I IFN stimulates bystander T-cells.
