Description

IL 28B produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain (22-196 a.a.) and fused to a 6 aa His Tag at C-terminus containing a total of 181 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 20.4kDa.
IL 28B shows multiple bands between 18-28kDa on SDS-PAGE, reducing conditions and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
IL-28B, belonging to the type I IFN family, shares a close relationship with IL-28A and IL-29. These three cytokines are clustered on chromosome 19q13. Their expression is triggered by viral infections. A heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor, composed of IL10RB and IL28RA, facilitates the interaction of all three cytokines.
Description
Recombinant human IL-28B, expressed in Sf9 insect cells, is a single glycosylated polypeptide chain. The protein sequence includes amino acids 22-196 of IL-28B, a C-terminal 6-His tag, totaling 181 amino acids with a molecular weight of 20.4 kDa. On SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, IL-28B appears as multiple bands between 18-28 kDa. It is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear and sterile solution.
Formulation
The IL-28B protein is supplied at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml in a solution containing phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4), 20% glycerol, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.1 mM PMSF.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to store at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advised for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of IL-28B is greater than 85%, as assessed by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Interleukin 28B, also known as Interferon lambda-3 (IFN-λ3), is a member of the Interferon lambda family of cytokines, which also includes Interleukin 28A (IFN-λ2) and Interleukin 29 (IFN-λ1) . These cytokines are known for their potent antiviral and immunomodulatory activities .

Structure and Expression

Interleukin 28B is a secreted cytokine that belongs to the IL-28/IL-29 family . It is produced by a variety of cell types and shares many functions with Type I Interferons . The recombinant form of Interleukin 28B is typically expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and is purified to high levels of purity .

Biological Activity

Interleukin 28B exhibits significant antiviral activities both in vitro and in vivo . It has been shown to up-regulate MHC class I antigen expression and has immunomodulatory activity . Additionally, Interleukin 28B displays antitumor activity, making it a molecule of interest in cancer research .

Mechanism of Action

Interleukin 28B functions as a ligand for the heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor composed of IL10RB and IL28RA . The ligand-receptor complex signals through the Jak-STAT pathway, which is crucial for mediating the biological effects of this cytokine .

Applications

Recombinant Interleukin 28B is used extensively in research to study its antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. It is also being investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in treating viral infections and certain types of cancer .

Storage and Stability

Lyophilized recombinant Interleukin 28B is stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20°C to -80°C . Once reconstituted, the protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days, and aliquots can be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months .
