Limitin, also called IFN-zeta, is a secreted interferon (IFN)-like glycoprotein. Limitin has approximately 30% sequence homology with IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, and IFN-omega and binds to the IFN-alpha/beta receptors. Like IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, limitin has antiproliferative, immunomodulatory, and antiviral properties, it is unique in lacking influence on myeloid and erythroid progenitors. Similar dose requirement between limitin and IFN-alpha was observed for the enhancement of cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity, the augmentation of MHC class I expression, and the growth inhibition of a myelomonocytic leukemia cell line.
