Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of eosinophils.IL-5 is produced by mast cells, T-cells, and eosinophils, and plays an important role in inducing cell-mediated immunity against parasitic infections and certain tumors.Elevated levels of IL-5 can lead to eosinophilia, which may cause asthma and other allergic diseases. Human and mouse IL-5 are cross-species reactive. Recombinant human IL-5 is a 26.2 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing two 113 amino acid chains. This product is supplied as Fluids, high activity, high purity, low endotoxin, NO labeling.
