Recombinant Rat Interleukin-10 (rRtIL-10)

Interleukin-10 also known as cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is coded by IL10 gene on chromosome 13 in rat. the charter member of the IL 10 family of α helical cytokines that also includes IL19, IL20, IL22, and IL24 (1, 2) . IL10 is secreted by many activated hematopoietic cell types as well as hepatic stellate cells, keratinocytes. IL-10 inhibits the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNFα. Like IL-4, IL-10 enhances humoral immune responses and attenuates cell-mediated immune reactions. Human IL-10 active on murine cells, but murine IL-10 is inactive on human cells.
