SYNONYMS
Interleukin-2, IL-2, T-cell growth factor, TCGF.
INTRODUCTION
IL2 is a secreted cytokine that is essential for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 and interleukin 7. The expression of IL2in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the exact expression of a single gene.
DESCRIPTION
Interleukin-2 Canine Recombinant produced in E. coli is a non-glycosylated monomer chain containing 136 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15.6kDa.
IL-2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
