Recombinant Human IL-28B protein (His Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Interleukin-28B; also known as Cytokine Zcyto22; Interferon lambda-3; Interferon lambda-4; IFNL3; IFNL4; ZCYTO22 and IL28B; is a secreted cytokine which belongs to the IL-28/IL-29 family. IL-28 has also been shown to play a role in the adaptive immune response. IL28B has immunomodulatory activity and up-regulates MHC class I antigen expression. IL28B displays potent antiviral activity and antitumor activity. In addition; IL28B is a ligand for the heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor composed of IL10RB and IL28RA. The ligand/receptor complex seems to signal through the Jak-STAT pathway.
