Interferon lambda-1, also called Interleukin-29(IL-29) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL29 gene. IL-29 is a member of the helical cytokine family and is a type III interferon. This gene is mapped to 19q13.2. It is a cytokine with immunomodulatory activity. This gene may play a role in antiviral immunity. It can up-regulates MHC class I antigen expression. It is the ligand for the heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor composed of IL10RB and IFNLR1. The ligand/receptor complex seems to signal through the Jak-STAT pathway. IL-29 plays an important role in host defenses against microbes and its gene is highly upregulated in cells infected with viruses.
Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 4000pg/ml, 2000pg/ml, 1000pg/ml, 500pg/ml, 250pg/ml, 125pg/ml, 62.5pg/ml human IL-29 standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of human cell culture supernates, serum or plasma(heparin, EDTA) to each empty well. It is recommended that each human IL-29 standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
