Name : IL-2, Human

Product Concentration :

Background :
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a Oglycosylated, four α-helix bundle cytokine that has potent stimulatory activity for antigen-activated T cells. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions which are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells, NK cells, lymphokine activated killer cells, monocytes, macrophages and oligodendrocytes.

Biological Activity :
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of CTLL-2 was found to be 1.0 × 107 IU/mg.
