  • Homogeneous preparations of IL-28 and IL-29
    Patent number: 7517961
    Abstract: Homogeneous preparations of IL-28A, IL-28B, and IL-29 have been produced by mutating one or more of the cysteine residues in the polynucleotide sequences encoding the mature proteins. The cysteine mutant proteins can be shown to either bind to their cognate receptor or exhibit biological activity. One type of biological activity that is shown is an antiviral activity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 13, 2006
    Date of Patent: April 14, 2009
    Assignee: ZymoGenetics, LLC
    Inventors: Lowell J. Brady, Kevin M. Klucher, Chung Chan, Dennis L. Dong, Hong Y. Liu, Paul O. Sheppard, Thomas R. Bukowski
