Description
IFN λ1, 2, and 3 (also known as IL-29, IL-28A and IL-28B respectively) are distantly related to the IL-10 family and the interferons. All three IFN-lambdas use a distinct receptor system composed of an IFN-λR1 subunit (also called CRF2-12) and IL-10R2 subunit (also called CRF2-14). Signaling through this receptor system induces antiviral defenses similar to, but distinct from, that of type I interferons. Recombinant Human IFN-λ1 is a 19.8 kDa protein containing 178 amino acid residues.

Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
