Interleukin 3 (Colony-Stimulating Factor, Multiple) (Il3) (Active) protein
Description
IL-3 is a hematopoietic growth factor that promotes the survival, differentiation and proliferation of committed progenitor cells of the megakaryocyte, granulocyte-macrophage, erythroid, eosinophil, basophil and mast cell lineages. Produced by T cells, mast cells and eosinophils, IL-3 enhances thrombopoieses, phagocytosis, and antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity. Its ability to activate monocytes suggests that IL-3 may have additional immunoregulatory roles. Many of the IL-3 activities depend upon co-stimulation with other cytokines. IL-3 is species-specific, variably glycosylated cytokine. Synonym: Interleukin-3 (IL-3), Canine. Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
