  • Description: Mutant gamma2A cells retain a wild-type interferon (IFN)-alpha/beta response (e.g., class I HLA Binding of IFN-gamma to gamma2A cells is normal), but the cells lack detectable JAK2 mRNA and protein and are completely defective in all aspects of the IFN-gamma response. More specifically, they are defective in IFN-gamma inducible activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, gene expression, and an antiviral state with respect to encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. In all cases, JAK2 (but not JAK1 or Tyk2 ...
  • Production details: The 2C4-gamma2A cell line is a derivative of the 2C4 cell line which is a clonal derivative of the human fibrosarcoma cell line HT 1080. The 2C4 cell line clone expresses the simple cell-surface marker CD2 (normally expressed only on T cells) under the control of the 9-27 gene promoter. The 9-27 gene promoter is inducible by interferon gamma; fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis was used to screen cells for loss or gain of interferon gamma inducibility of CD2 expression. Cell li...
