Our anti-mouse IL-28B antibody raised in mice and produced in hybridoma (mabg-mil28b/mabg-mil28b-5) has been removed from our catalog. Its coding sequence has been determined and the antibody is now produced by recombinant technology and purified from CHO cells.
ABOUT
Notification: Our anti-mouse IL-28B antibody raised in mice and produced in hybridoma (mabg-mil28b/mabg-mil28b-5) has been removed from our catalog. Its coding sequence has been determined and the antibody is now produced by recombinant technology and purified from CHO cells.
Recombinant mouse IL-28B antibody
InvivoGen provides a recombinant fully mouse anti-mouse IL-28b-mIgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that was previously extracted from hybridoma. It is now expressed and produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, ensuring reliability and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Thereby, common hybridoma-related drawbacks such as the generation of non-relevant mAbs containing aberrant light chains are avoided [1].
The sequence of the anti-mIL-28b-mIgG1 is 100% murine (constant and variable regions), as the original clone (clone 3C11) was raised in mice using a proprietary method. This feature allows for reduced immunogenicity and risks of fatal hypersensitivity reactions upon repeated mAb injections into mice [2-4].
InvivoGen provides this antibody in two grades:
- In vitro use: Anti-mIL-28b-mIgG1
- In vivo use: Anti-mIL-28b-mIgG1 InvivoFit™
All InvivoFit™ products are handled in a clean room, filter-sterilized, and tested for bacterial contaminants. Additionally, this grade guarantees low levels of endotoxins (<1 EU/ml). The buffer formulation is specifically adapted for in vivo studies.
Key features:
- Potent and specific neutralizing activity against mIL-28B
- Sequence is 100% murine
- Murine IgG1 isotype (constant region)
- Free from non-relevant mAbs found in hybridoma-based productions
- Produced in animal-free facilities and defined media
- Low aggregation < 5%
- InvivoFit™ grade is available
Anti-mIL-28b-mIgG1 is designed to efficiently neutralize the biological activity of mIL-28B. Interleukin 28B (IL-28B) is a member of the type III interferon (IFN) family, that exhibits several common features with type I IFNs: antiviral and antitumor activity [5,6].

Details
Type III interferons (IFNs) - also called IFN-λ cytokines - play an essential role within the antiviral response in epithelial barrier tissues. In humans, this family comprises four distinct proteins called IFN-λ1 (IL-29), IFN-λ2 (IL-28A), IFN-λ3 (IL-28B), and the poorly secreted IFN-λ4. In mice, two functional orthologs (IL-28A and IL-28B) have been described [1,2]. IFN-λs are produced by virtually any nucleated cell type. However, the target cell populations of IL-28/IL-29 are restricted and mainly include epithelial cells and hepatocytes [3].
Upon infection, viral RNA is sensed by pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) including RIG-I and MDA5 [3]. This stimulates the transcription of IFN-λs by IRF1 (IFN regulatory factor 1). Subsequently, IFN-λs bind to a heterodimeric receptor formed by the assembly of IFNLR1 (IFN-lambda receptor 1) and IL10Rβ (IL-10 receptor β). This leads to the recruitment of the Janus kinases, JAK1 and TyK2, and phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. They dimerize and interact with IRF9, forming the so-called ISGF3 complex. ISGF3 translocates into the nucleus and binds to IFN-stimulated response elements (ISRE) within the promoter region of antiviral IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) to regulate their expression [2-3]. Besides its antiviral function, IFN-λ signaling plays also an important role in non-infectious diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and cancer [2].
