Description

Recombinant Interleukin-29 (IFN-lambda) is a disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of 178 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 20 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding murine Interleukin-29 mature chain was expressed in E. coli.

Background
The IFN-lambda gene family is composed of three distinct genes: IFN-lambda1 (IL-29), IFN-lambda2 (IL- 28A), and IFN-lambda3 (IL- 28B) . IFN-lambda proteins exhibit only weak homology to IL-10, but, like IL-10, they also use the IL-10R2 chain as a component of their receptor complex. The IFN-receptor complex consists of the unique ligand-binding chain IFN- R. The IFN-λ1 gene is found exclusively in primate genomes and is 81% identical to IFN-λ2/3. IFN-λs, which are now collectively referred to as type III IFNs, exhibit several features in common with type I IFNs, such as antiviral, antiproliferative, and antitumor activities.
