IFN-lambda 1/IL-29 Protein, Human (HEK293)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IFN-lambda 1 (IL-29) is a member of the Type-III interferon family. IFN-lambda 1 signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex comprising IFNλ receptor 1 (IFNLR1) and IL-10 receptor subunit-β (IL-10RB). When IFN-lambda 1 binds with the receptor complex, Jak1 and Tyk2 will be activated, and leads to subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of the IFN-λR1, and activation of STAT1 and STAT2. IFN-lambda 1 modulates immunity in infections and autoimmune diseases. IFN-lambda 1/IL-29 Protein, Human (HEK293) is a recombinant human IFN-lambda 1 (G20-T200) without any tag, which is produced in HEK293 cell.

Description

IFN-lambda 1 (IL-29) is a member of the Type-III interferon family. IFN-lambda 1 signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex comprising IFNλ receptor 1 (IFNLR1) and IL-10 receptor subunit-β (IL-10RB). When IFN-lambda 1 binds with the receptor complex, Jak1 and Tyk2 will be activated, and leads to subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of the IFN-λR1, and activation of STAT1 and STAT2[1]. IFN-lambda 1 modulates immunity in infections and autoimmune diseases[2]. IFN-lambda 1/IL-29 Protein, Human (HEK293) is a recombinant human IFN-lambda 1 (G20-T200) without any tag, which is produced in HEK293 cell.

Background

IFN-lambda 1 (IL-29) is a member of the Type-III interferon family. IFN-lambda 1 is produced mainly by maturing dendritic cells and macrophages. Maturing dendritic cells, macrophages, mast cells, and alveolar cells express high levels of IFN-lambda 1[3].
IFN-lambda 1 signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex comprising IFNλ receptor 1 (IFNLR1) and IL-10 receptor subunit-β (IL-10RB). When binding to the receptor complex, Jak1 and Tyk2 will be activated, and leads to subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of the IFN-λR1 (intracellular domain, Tyr406 and Tyr343, Tyr517), and activation of STAT1 and STAT2[1]. Activated STAT1 and STAT2 recruits IRF-9 to form a trimeric transcription factor complex (ISGF3), which mediates the antiviral state[4].
IFN-lambda 1 modulates immunity in infections and autoimmune diseases[2].

In Vitro

IFN-lambda 1 (human, 1-1 ng/mL, 48 h) increases the expression of proinflammatory cytokine in osteoarthritis (OA) synovial fibroblasts (FLS)[5].
IFN-lambda 1 (human, -2 ng/mL, 24h) increases expression of the proinflammatory factor IL-8 in human blood monocyte-derived DCs[6].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured in antiviral assays using HepG2 cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus and the ED50 is typically 1-39 ng/mL.
