| Catalogue Number | ANT-102 |
| Synonyms | T-cell growth factor (TCGF), Aldesleukin, Lymphokine, IL-2. |
| Type | Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal. |
| Introduction | IL2 is a secreted cytokine that is important 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 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli. |
