Background: IL-29/IFN-lambda 1

IL-29, also known interferon-lambda 1 (IFN lambda1), along with IL-28A (IFN lambda2), IL-28B (IFN lambda3) and IFN lambda4, collectively comprise the type III subset of IFNs. IFN lambdas are class II cytokine receptor ligands distantly related to both members of the IL-10 family and to the type I IFN family (11-19% amino acid (aa) sequence identity). IL-29 is expressed only in humans and shares 67% and 69% aa sequence identity with human IL-28A and IL-28B, respectively. IFN lambda signaling was initially thought to be restricted to epithelial cells, but, recently, additional cell types have been shown to also respond. IFN lambdas have been shown to be induced by a variety of stimuli from influenza A and herpes viruses to lipopolysaccharides and double-stranded RNA. IL-29 signals through a unique receptor complex composed of IFN lambdaR1 (IL-28RA) and the shared IL-10R2 chain, which is also a part of the receptor complexes for IL-10, IL-22, and IL-26. In humans, IL-29 is the most potent IFN lambda molecule, the most abundant IFN lambda molecule in serum, and the only IFN lambda molecule to display N-linked glycosylation. IL-29 is being investigated for its role in immunity, both innate and adaptive, as well as in autoimmune disorders. Additionally, the therapeutic potential of IL-29 in inflammatory diseases and its cancer fighting properties are being actively studied.
