RecombinantIL-5,Mouse

• Catalog Number: orb1494816
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Interleukin-5 (rmIL-5),produced by mast cells, T cells and eosinophils, is responsible for the activities attributed to eosinophil differentiating factor, B cell growth factor II and T cell-replacing factor (TRF). It can increase production and mobilization of eosinophils and CD34+ progenitors from the bone marrow. IL-5 plays an important role in inducing cell-mediated immunity against parasitic infections and certain tumors. IL-5 also promotes differentiation of basophils and primes them for histamine and leukotriene release.Recombinant mouse Interleukin-5 (rmIL-5) produced in E.coli is a disulfide-linked homodimer containing two non-glycosylated polypeptide chains of 113 amino acids each. A fully biologically active molecule, rmIL-5 has a molecular mass of 26.2kDa analyzed by non-reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by proprietary chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
