Background
Interferon (IFN)-kappa is a member of the type I IFN family, which also includes IFN-alpha , -beta , -epsilon , and -omega . Mouse IFN-kappa is expressed at low levels in peritoneal macrophages and its expression is up-regulated by double-stranded (ds) RNA and IFN-gamma (1). Mice over-expressing IFN-kappa in pancreatic beta cells developed type I diabetes, similar to what has been reported for mice over-expressing IFN-alpha , -beta , and -gamma (1-4). Mouse IFN-kappa shares 68% and 30% amino acid sequence identity with rat and human IFN-kappa , respectively. Human IFN-kappa has been detected in keratinocytes, monocytes, and monocyte-derived dendritic cells and is reported to have contact-dependent antiviral activity (5-7). Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 oncogene expression, which is necessary for the development of cervical cancer, has been shown to down-regulate human IFN-kappa expression (8-11).
