2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Interferon lambdas (IFNλs), termed IFN-λ1, IFN-λ2 and IFN-λ3, or IL-29, IL-28A and IL-28B are a recently identified family of cytokines with antiviral activity. IL-28A/B and IL-29 bind to a novel heterodimeric receptor complex formed between IL-28 receptor (IL-28R) and IL-10 receptor (IL-10R2).
