Revvity AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human and Mouse Total STAT2 Detection Kit, 100 Assay Points

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 2 (STAT2) is a transcription factor that primarily mediates type I and type III interferon (IFN) signaling, playing a central role in establishing antiviral defenses. Upon IFN stimulation, receptor‑associated JAK1 and TYK2 phosphorylate STAT2 (and STAT1). Phosphorylated STAT2 heterodimerizes with STAT1 and associates with IRF9 to form the ISGF3 complex, which binds interferon‑stimulated response elements (ISREs) to induce interferon‑stimulated genes (ISGs), including OAS, PKR (EIF2AK2), and MX1/MX2.

Unlike several other STATs, STAT2 does not bind DNA as a homodimer and exerts most transcriptional functions within ISGF3. In STAT1‑limited contexts, STAT2 can partner with IRF9 to drive a STAT2–IRF9 (ISGF3‑like) response, extending antiviral gene induction.

STAT2 deficiency in humans causes marked susceptibility to viral infections (notably many respiratory RNA viruses, and some DNA viruses), often with severe disease after live‑attenuated vaccines, underscoring STAT2’s non‑redundant role in IFN signaling. Consistently, numerous viruses (e.g., paramyxoviruses, flaviviruses, orthomyxoviruses) encode proteins that degrade, sequester, or block STAT2, highlighting STAT2 as a major target of viral immune evasion.

Because STAT2 tunes IFN pathway amplitude and duration, it represents a potential therapeutic node to enhance antiviral responses or attenuate pathogenic IFN signaling in selected auto‑inflammatory and autoimmune settings.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human and Mouse Total STAT2 Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of total STAT2 in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
