General description
IFN-λ-1,-2, and -3 (also known as IL-29, IL-28A and IL-28B respectively) are distantly related to the IL-10 family of interferons. All three IFN-λs use a distinct receptor system composed of an IFN-λR1 subunit (also called CRF2-12) and IL-10R2 subunit (also called CRF2-14). Signaling through this receptor system induces antiviral defense similar but distinct than the type I Interferons.
Immunogen
L29 (NP_742152, 9-44)
This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the N-terminal region of human IL29.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Interleukin-29 (IL-29) enhances the production of interleukins from monocytes. It has been observed that it stimulates antiviral responses to herpes simplex virus 1 in vitro. Serums from patients with rheumatoid arthritis have high levels of IL29.
