IFNL2 ELISA Kit (Human) (OKBB00870)

Description of target: Interferon lambda-2, also called IFNL2 or IL28A is a class II cytokine receptor ligand related to type I interferons. This gene is mapped to 19q13.2. This gene encodes 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. It up-regulates MHC class I antigen expression. It also displays antitumor activity. The ligand/receptor complex seems to signal through the Jak-STAT pathway. This gene seems not to be essential for early virus-activated host defense in vaginal infection, but plays an important role in Toll-like receptor(TLR)-induced antiviral defense. It seems play a significant role in the antiviral immune defense in the intestinal epithelium.;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <10pg/ml
