Human IL29 protein (active)

Interleukin-29 (IL-29) is a member of the helical cytokine family and is a type III interferon. It is also known as IFNlambda1 and is highly similar in amino acid sequence to the IL-28, the other type III interferon. IL-29 plays an important role in host defenses against microbes and its gene is highly upregulated in cells infected with viruses. Besides, ATPase, Ca Transporting, Plasma Membrane 2 (ATP2B2) has been identified as an interactor of IL29, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human IL29 and recombinant human ATP2B2. Briefly, IL29 were diluted serially in PBS with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 microl were then transferred to ATP2B2-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37 C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-IL29 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37C. Finally, add 50 microl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of IL29 and ATP2B2 was in a dose dependent manner.

Interferon lambda-1

This gene encodes a cytokine distantly related to type I interferons and the IL-10 family. This gene, interleukin 28A (IL28A), and interleukin 28B (IL28B) are three closely related cytokine genes that form a cytokine gene cluster on a chromosomal region mapped to 19q13. Expression of the cytokines encoded by the three genes can be induced by viral infection. All three cytokines have been shown to interact with a heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor that consists of interleukin 10 receptor, beta (IL10RB) and interleukin 28 receptor, alpha (IL28RA).
