Background of IFNA2
Interferon alpha-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNA2 gene. This gene is a member of the alpha interferon gene cluster on chromosome 9. The encoded cytokine is a member of the type I interferon family that is produced in response to viral infection as a key part of the innate immune response with potent antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory properties. This cytokine, like other type I interferons, binds a plasma membrane receptor made of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 that is ubiquitously expressed, and thus is able to act on virtually all body cells. The encoded protein is effective in reducing the symptoms and duration of the common cold and in treating many types of cancer, including some hematological malignancies and solid tumors. A deficiency of type I interferon in the blood is thought to be a hallmark of severe COVID-19 and may provide a rationale for a combined therapeutic approach.

Recommended Sample Dilution Ratios
According to our internal validation assays using this ELISA kit, to detect IFNA2, Dilution ratio of 1:1, concentration in serum is less than the lowest standard, 3.1 pg/ml..
Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human IFNA2 ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

Reproducibility
We ensure reproducibility by testing three samples with differing concentrations of IFNA2 in ELISA kits from four different production batches/lots.
