Anti-IL-2/IL2 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
IL-2, Interleukin-2, formerly referred to as T-cell growth factor, is a powerfully immunoregulatory lymphokine that is produced by lectin-or antigen-activated T cells. In situ hybridization, the IL-2 gene is assigned to 4q26-q28. IL2 can act as a growth hormone for both B and T lymphocytes. It is useful in the study of the molecular nature of T-cell differentiation and, like interferons, augments natural killer cell activity.
