Recombinant Human IL-5





 





		Synonyms :
EDF, BCDFII, TRF



		Description :
IL-5 is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of eosinophils.  Produced by mast cells, T cells, and eosinophils, IL-5 plays an important role in inducing cell-mediated immunity against parasitic infections and certain tumors.  Elevated levels of IL-5 lead to Eosinophilia, which may result in the induction of asthma and other allergic diseases.  Human and murine IL-5 is cross-species reactive.  Recombinant human IL-5 is a 26.0 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing two 116 amino acid chains.
