IL-28 (IFN lambda) Monoclonal Antibody (RN28), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: This monoclonal RN28 antibody reacts with IL-28 (IFN lambda), a member of the IFN-lambda family which mediates the induction of anti-viral protection in a wide variety of cells. Applications Reported: The RN28 antibody has been reported for use in ELISA capture of mouse IL-28. Applications Tested: This RN28 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of mouse IL-28 in combination with the biotin polyclonal (cat. 13-7282) antibody for detection. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISA capture is 1.0-4 μg/mL. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombinant standard over the range of 4000 pg/mL - 30 pg/mL should be included in each ELISA plate. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

IL28 is a cytokine distantly related to type I interferons and the IL-10 family. This gene, interleukin 28B (IL28B), and interleukin 29 (IL29) are three closely related cytokine genes that form a cytokine gene cluster on a chromosomal region mapped to 19q13. Expression of the cytokines encoded by the three genes can be induced by viral infection. All three cytokines have been shown to interact with a heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor that consists of interleukin 10 receptor, beta (IL10RB) and interleukin 28 receptor, alpha (IL28RA).
