SMC^® Human IFNλ1 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit

Interferon lambda 1 (IFN-λ1), also known as IL-29, is a type of cytokine belonging to the Type III interferon family, which also includes IL-28A and IL-28B. These cytokines are recognized for their role in the immune response against viral infections and are structurally similar to members of the IL-10 family. IL-29 is primarily produced by dendritic cells and is involved in the modulation of antiviral activity, acting similarly to type I interferons, though it interacts with a distinct receptor complex. This cytokine is crucial for its antiviral properties, immune regulation, and potential therapeutic implications in managing viral infections and certain autoimmune disorders. The specific signaling through its receptor can activate various pathways leading to the induction of antiviral state and regulation of immune responses.
