Interleukin 28B (IL28B) genetic variation has been recently reported as a potent predictor of hepatitis C virus (HCV) response to interferon (IFN) therapy. The aim of this study was to produce recombinant human IL28B (rhIL28B) in yeast and explore the action mechanisms of rhIL28B as a novel anti-HCV agent.
