Mouse IL-28A/IFN-lambda 2 Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity
Mouse
Specificity
Detects mouse IL‑28A/IFN‑ lambda 2 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In Western blots, approximately 50% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse IL‑28B is observed and less than 5% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) IL-28A and rhIL-28B is observed.
Source
Polyclonal Sheep IgG
Purification
Antigen Affinity-purified
Immunogen
Mouse myeloma cell line NS0-derived recombinant mouse IL‑28A/IFN‑ lambda 2
Asp20-Val193
Accession # NP_001019844
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. *Small pack size (SP) is supplied either lyophilized or as a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS.
Endotoxin Level
<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the antibody by the LAL method.

Applications

Recommended Concentration
Sample
Western Blot
0.1 µg/mL
Recombinant Mouse IL‑28A/IFN-lambda 2 (Catalog # 4635-ML)
Neutralization
Measured by its ability to neutralize IL‑28A/IFN‑ lambda 2 inhibition of EMCV-induced cytopathy in the HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. Sheppard, P. et al. (2003) Nat. Immunol. 4:63. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 3-15 µg/mL in the presence of 20 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse IL‑28A/IFN‑ lambda 2.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

IL‑28A/IFN‑ lambda 2 Inhibition of EMCV-induced Cytopathy and Neutralization by Mouse IL‑28A/IFN‑ lambda 2 Antibody. Recombinant Mouse IL-28A (Catalog # 4635-ML) reduces the Encephalomyocarditis Virus (EMCV)-induced cytopathy in the HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Inhibition of EMCV activity elicited by Recombinant Mouse IL-28A (20 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Sheep Anti-Mouse IL-28A Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4635). The ND50 is typically 3-15 µg/mL.

Background: IL-28A/IFN-lambda 2

IL-28A (also named interferon-lambda 2, IFN-lambda 2), IL-28B (IFN-lambda 3) and IL-29 (IFN-lambda 1) are type III interferons that are class II cytokine receptor ligands (1‑4). They are distantly related to members of the IL-10 family and type I IFN family (1‑4). Mouse IL-28A cDNA encodes a 193 amino acid (aa) protein with a 19 aa signal peptide and a 174 aa mature protein that lacks N-glycosylation sites. Mature mouse IL-28A shares 81% and 66% aa sequence identity with rat and human IL-28A, respectively, and functions across species (5). Mouse IL-28A and IL-28B share 97% aa identity; the mouse lacks a functional IL-29 gene (4). Type III interferons are widely expressed, but are mainly produced by antigen presenting cells in response to viruses and double-stranded RNA that interact with Toll-like receptors or RIG-1 family helicases (2‑6). They signal through a widely expressed receptor that is a heterodimer of the IL-10 receptor  beta (IL-10 R beta ) and IL-28 receptor  alpha (IL-28 R alpha ; also called IFN-lambda  R1) (2, 3, 7, 9). Interaction of either type I or type III IFNs with their receptors activates similar pathways, including JAK tyrosine kinase activation, STAT phosphorylation and formation of the IFN-stimulated regulatory factor 3 (ISGF-3) transcription factor complex (1‑3). Both type I and III IFNs induce antiviral activity and upregulate MHC class I antigen expression (2‑6). Cell lines responsive to type III IFNs are also responsive to type I IFNs, but in general, higher concentrations of type III IFNs are needed for similar in vitro responses (8). In vivo, however, type III IFNs enhance levels of IFN-gamma in serum, suggesting that the robust antiviral activity of type III IFNs may stem in part from activation of the immune system (5, 7). Anti-proliferative and antitumor activity in vivo has also been shown for type III IFNs (9‑11).
