Expression of IL‐28R and interferon (IFN)‐α receptors. Six different human non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lines, Sq‐19, NCI‐H23, A549, OBA‐LK1, LK‐1 and 11–18, and malignant mesothelioma line H28 were incubated with mouse anti‐human IL‐28R mAb (grey shade), anti‐human IFN‐αRα mAb (grey shade), anti‐human IFN‐αRβ mAb (grey shade) or irrelevant mouse IgG1 (thin line), followed by PE‐conjugated goat anti‐mouse IgG F(ab)2. Expression of IL‐28R on the surface of NSCLC lines and the malignant mesothelioma line was analyzed by flow cytometry.
