Application Details

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at < -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Storage: 4 °C

Target Details

Target: IL29 (Interleukin 29 (IL29))

Alternative Name: Interferon-Lambda1 (IFN-Lambda1)

Background: IL-28A, IL-28B, and IL-29, also named interferon-lambda2 (IFN-lambda2), IFN-lambda3, and IFN-lambda1, respectively, are newly identified class II cytokine receptor ligands that are distantly related to members of the IL-10 family (11-13% aa sequence identity) and the type I IFN family (15-19% aa sequence identity). The expression of IL-28A, B, and IL-29 is induced by virus infection or double-stranded RNA. All three cytokines exert bioactivities that overlap those of type I IFNs, including antiviral activity and up-regulation of MHC class I antigen expression. The three proteins signal through the same heterodimeric receptor complex that is composed of the IL-10 receptor beta (IL-10 Rbeta) and a novel IL-28 receptor alpha (IL-28 Ralpha, also known as IFN-lambdaR1). Ligand binding to the receptor complex induces Jak kinase activation and STAT1 and STAT2 tyrosine phosphorylation. Synonym: Interferon-lambda1 ( IFN-lambda1), Human. Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 130mM NaCl.

Molecular Weight: Approximately 19.8 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 181 amino acids.
