摘要: Interferon lambdas (IFN-lambda) are Type III interferons with biological activity, including induction of antiviral genes, similar to I IFNs, but signal through a distinct receptor complex. The expression pattern for the IFN-lambda is more cell specific than widely distributed IFN-alpha receptor, suggesting in vivo, may have fewer side effects IFN-alpha, such as less hematologic toxicities. A PEGylated form (PEG-rIL-29) was well tolerated animals and did not result toxicity. Clinical data from initial studies PEG-rIL-29 has demonstrated patients hepatitis C without producing These preclinical early clinical support potential new therapeutic agent treatment C.
