IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29, and certain mutants thereof have been shown to have antiviral activity on a spectrum of viral species. Of particular interest is the antiviral activity demonstrated on viruses that infect liver, such as hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus. In addition, IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29, and mutants thereof do not exhibit some of the antiproliferative activity on hematopoietic cells that is observed with interferon treatment. Without the immunosuppressive effects accompanying interferon treatment, IL-28A, IL-28B, and IL-29 will be useful in treating immunocompromised patients for viral infections.

On a découvert que IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29 et certains mutants de celles-ci possédaient une activité antivirale sur un spectre d'espèces virales. Cette activité antivirale particulièrement intéressante a été démontrée sur des virus qui infectent le foie, tels que le virus de l'hépatite B et le virus de l'hépatite C. En outre, IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29 et les mutants de celles-ci ne présentent pas d'activité antiproliférative sur les cellules hématopoïétiques telle qu'on l'observe avec un traitement à l'interféron. Du fait qu'aucun effet immunosuppresseur n'accompagne un traitement à l'interféron, IL-28A, IL-28B, et IL-29 sont utilisées pour traiter un patient dont l'immunité est compromise par des infections virales.
