Recombinant Human Interleukin-2/IL-2 Protein (C145S)

Product Specifications

Background

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin; a type of cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system; belongs to the IL-2 family. It is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions that 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.
