AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in buffer, cell culture media, serum and plasma in a highly sensitive, quantitative, reproducible and user-friendly mode. In an AlphaLISA assay, a Biotinylated Anti-Analyte Antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Alpha Donor beads, while another Anti-Analyte Antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads provokes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.
Interferon-λ2 (IFN-λ2), also know an IL28A is a cytokine encoded by the IL28 gene and is closely related to IL28B(IFN-λ3) and IL29(IFN-λ1). IFN-λ2 and IFN-λ3 are 96% homologous and their functional differences are still unknown. IFN-λ2 plays a critical role in adaptive immune responses and regulates CD8+ T cell functions during vaccination.
