Description
Interleukin-2 (IL-2), the first cloned interleukin factor, also known as T-cell growth factor (TCGF), binds to the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) to stimulate T cells into the cell division cycle, enabling long-term T-cell survival in vitro [1]. In addition to its effects on T cells, IL-2 can also bind to IL-2R on the surface of NK cells, enhancing their proliferation and cytotoxic activity [2]. As a pleiotropic cytokine, IL-2 further promotes the proliferation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, induces B-cell proliferation and immunoglobulin production, and enhances macrophage phagocytic activity [3].
This product consists of 134 amino acid residues, expressed in CHO cells, and is lyophilized after isolation and highly purified.
