Alternative names:

Interferon lambda-1;IFN-lambda-1;Cytokine Zcyto21;Interleukin-29;IL-29;IFNL1;IL29;ZCYTO21

Description:

Recombinant Human Interferon Lambda-1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gly20-Thr200 is expressed with a 10His tag at the C-terminus.

Background:

Interleukin-29 (IL-29) is a secreted protein which belongs to the IL-28/IL-29 family. IL-29 is a cytokine with immunomodulatory activity. IL-29 is highly similar in amino acid sequence to the IL-28. IL-28 and IL-29 are induced by viral infection and showed antiviral activity. IL-28 and IL-29 interacted with a heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor that consisted of IL-10 receptor beta (IL-10R beta) and an orphan class II receptor chain, designated IL-28R alpha. IL-29 plays an important role in host defenses against microbes and its gene is highly upregulated in cells infected with viruses. IL-29 may play a role in antiviral immunity. IL-29 up-regulates MHC class I antigen expression. It is a Ligand for the heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor composed of IL10RB and IL28RA. The ligand/receptor complex seems to signal through the Jak-STAT pathway.
