IL-2, Human 

Recombinant human Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a highly purified protein with a molecular weight of approximately 15.3 kDa. The chemical name is des-alanyl-1, serine-125 human interleukin-2. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology using a genetically engineered E. coli strain containing an analog of the human Human Interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene.

Background
Target Background Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a Oglycosylated, four α-helix bundle cytokine that has potent stimulatory activity for antigen-activated T cells. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions which are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells, NK cells, lymphokine activated killer cells, monocytes, macrophages and oligodendrocytes.
Synonyms IL2; IL-2; TCGF; lymphokine; interleukin 2
