Tissue: fibroblast

Gene product: interferon, beta 1, fibroblast [IFNB]

Target Gene: interferon, beta 1, fibroblast

Insert contains an internal PstI site.

Restriction digests of the clone give the following sizes (kb): BamHI/BglII--2.2, 0.6; PstI--1.8, 0.96; BamHI--2.8.

Encodes a 20 kDa protein product in Escherichia coli, corresponding to the expected molecular weight of unglycosylated interferon beta. Demonstrates anti-viral activity (inhibition of cytopathic effect using VSV and human fibroblasts).

Constructed by inserting a lacZ promoter (derivative of lac95 portable promoter) upstream of Bal31-digested pre-interferon beta cDNA.
