Interleukin-28B Human Recombinant

IL-28B is a cytokine remotely related to type I interferons and the IL-10 family. Interleukin-28B, interleukin 28A (IL28A), and interleukin 29 (IL29) are 3 closely related cytokine genes which form a cytokine gene cluster on a chromosomal region mapped to 19q13. Expression of the cytokines encoded by these 3 genes can be induced by viral infection. All 3 cytokines interact with a heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor which consists of interleukin 10 receptor, beta (IL10RB) and interleukin 28 receptor, alpha (IL28RA).
Description Interleukin-28B Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a non-glycosylated monomer, having a total molecular weight of 24kDa.
The IL28B is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms Interleukin-28B, IL-28B, Cytokine Zcyto22, Interferon lambda-3, IFN-lambda-3, Interferon lambda-4, IFN-lambda-4, Interleukin-28C, IL-28C, IL28B, IFNL3, IFNL4, IL28C, ZCYTO22.
Source HEK.
Purity >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Formulation Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
The IL28B was lyophilized from 1mg/ml in 1xPBS.
Stability The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity The specific activity was determined by the dose dependent protection of the cytopathic effect on A549 cells (human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line) that were challenged with encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus and is typically 0.1-1ng/ml.
Solubility It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL-28B in sterile water not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Usage LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
