Background
Interferon lambda 3 (IFN-λ3), also known as interleukin-28B (IL-28B), is a type III interferon that plays a crucial role in the innate immune response against viral infections. IFN-λ3 is produced in response to viral stimuli and exerts potent antiviral effects by inducing the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) that inhibit viral replication and spread. Similar to other type III interferons, IFN-λ3 signals through the IFN-λ receptor complex, which consists of IL-10R2 and IL-28Rα subunits, leading to the activation of downstream signaling pathways involved in antiviral defense. IFN-λ3 has been implicated in the immune response to various viral infections, including hepatitis C virus (HCV) and influenza virus, and is considered a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of viral diseases.
