INTERLEUKIN 3 (IL-3)

Interleukin-3 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced primarily by activated T cells. IL-3 is thought to function via specific cell surface receptors to stimulate the proliferation, differentiation and survival of haematopoietic cell lines. IL-3 has also been shown to affect the functional activity of a variety of other cell types including mast cells, eosinophils, megakaryocytes and basophils. RANDOX recombinant Interleukin-3 comprises a 133 amino acid fragment (20-152) corresponding to the mature Interleukin-3 protein and is expressed in E. coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.
