Animal-Free Recombinant Human IL-5 0 ReviewsSubmit a Review Product Details Catalogue Number: AF-200-05 Description: IL-5 is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of eosinophils. Produced by mast cells, T cells, and eosinophils, IL-5 plays an important role in inducing cell-mediated immunity against parasitic infections and certain tumors. Elevated levels of IL-5 lead to Eosinophilia, which may result in the induction of asthma and other allergic diseases. Human and murine IL-5 are cross-species reactive. Recombinant Human IL-5 is a 26.5 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing two 116 amino acid chains. Manufactured using all Animal-Free reagents.
