Human Interleukin-29 (hIL-29) #5183

Inquiry Info. # 5183

Please see our recommended alternatives.

    Product Information

    Formulation

    With carrier: Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.2 containing 20 μg BSA per 1 μg hIL-29. Carrier free: Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.2.

    Storage

    Stable in lyophilized state at 4°C for 1 year after receipt. Sterile stock solutions reconstituted with carrier protein are stable at 4°C for 2 months and at -20°C for 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
    Maintain sterility. Storage at -20°C should be in a manual defrost freezer.

    Product Description

    MW (kDa) 31
    Purity >98% as determined by SDS-PAGE of 6 μg reduced (+) and non-reduced (-) recombinant hIL-29. All lots are greater than 98% pure.
    Endotoxin Less than 0.01 ng endotoxin/1μg hIL-29.
    Activity The bioactivity of hIL-29 was determined in a virus protection assay. The ED50 of each lot is between 0.40-1.45 ng/ml.
    Molecular Formula Recombinant hIL-29 contains no "tags" and the nonglycosylated protein has a calculated MW of 20,018. DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrate as 31 kDa polypeptides. Lower mobility and heterogeneity in SDS-PAGE are due to glycosylation. The expected amino-terminal GPVPT of recombinant hIL-29 was verified by amino acid sequencing.

    Source / Purification

    Recombinant human IL-29 (hIL-29) Gly20-Thr200 (Accession #NP_742152) was expressed in human 293 cells at Cell Signaling Technology.

    Background

    IL-29 is a member of the IFNλ family of cytokines and shares many functions with the type I family of interferons (1,2). IL-29 is produced by monocytes and dendritic cells in response to viral infection and stimulation with toll-like receptor ligands (1-3). IL-29 is a potent antiviral cytokine. The antiviral activities of IL-29 include the upregulation of MHC Class I expression on the cell surface, and the expression of PKR, MxA, and 2’, 5'-OAS (1,2). The IL-29 receptor consists of IL-28Rα and IL-10Rβ is expressed on most non-hematopoietic cells (3). IL-29 binding induces the phosphorylation of Stats 1, 2 and 3 (1,3).
