Product Specifications

Background

This is a non-secretory ribonuclease. It is a pyrimidine specific nuclease with a slight preference for U. Cytotoxin and helminthotoxin. Selectively chemotactic for dendritic cells. Possesses a wide variety of biological activities. Eosinophil derived neurotoxin (EDN) is a protein belonging to the ribonuclease (RNase) A superfamily. It has recently been found to have antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus and human immunodeficiency virus in vitro.
