Purity | Anti-IL-29 is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. This antibody is specific for human IL-29 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with IL-29 from human sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Based on high to 100% homology, there is a chance of cross-reactivity to IL-29 from a wide variety of animals. Cross-reactivity with IL-29 from other sources has not been determined. |
Storage Condition | Store anti-IL-29 antibody at 4° C prior to restoration. For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Name | IFNL1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | IL29, ZCYTO21 |
Function | Cytokine with antiviral, antitumour and immunomodulatory activities. Plays a critical role in the antiviral host defense, predominantly in the epithelial tissues. Acts as a ligand for the heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor composed of IL10RB and IFNLR1, and receptor engagement leads to the activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway resulting in the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISG), which mediate the antiviral state. Has a restricted receptor distribution and therefore restricted targets: is primarily active in epithelial cells and this cell type-selective action is because of the epithelial cell-specific expression of its receptor IFNLR1. Exerts an immunomodulatory effect by up-regulating MHC class I antigen expression. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |

Background
IL-29 (Interleukin-29) is a secreted cytokine with immunomodulatory activity. It may play a role in antiviral immunity. It up-regulates MHC class I antigen expression. IL-29 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. Its induction is by viral infections or double stranded RNA. Anti-IL-29 antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Immunology research.
