Interleukins

Gold Biotechnology has a wide range of Interleukin growth factors from multiple species, including human, murine, rat, canine and rhesus monkey. Interleukins are a large family of cytokines which are soluble hormone-like mediators of the immune system. They were first seen to be expressed by white blood cells (leukocytes), but have subsequently been found to be produced by a wide variety of body cells. Interleukins are involved in processes of cell activation, cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell-to-cell interactions. The expression of interleukins is usually strictly regulated, i.e., the factors are often not secreted constitutively. Interleukins are most often synthesized after cell activation as a consequence of a physiological or non-physiological stimulus.
