IFN-λ2, human recombinant

IFN-λ2, human recombinant is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.

Induces antiviral defense

Biomolecule/Target: IFN-λ2

Alternates names: IL-28A

Synonyms: IL-28A

Background Information: IFN λ-1,-2, and -3 (also known as IL-29, IL-28A and IL-28B respectively) are distantly related to the IL-10 family and Interferons. All three IFN-lambdas uses 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 defense similar but distinct than the type I Interferons. Recombinant human IFN-λ2 is a 19.6 kDa protein containing 174 amino acid residues.

Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.5-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
