Description

abm | Recombinant Mouse IL5 | Z200475

Interleukin-5 is a specific hematopoietic growth factor that is responsible for the growth and differentiation of eosinophils. IL-5 promotes the growth of immature hematopoietic progenitor cells BFU-E while it causes differentiation of CFU-E the proliferation of which is inhibited by IL-5. IL-5 strongly stimulates the proliferation, cell activation, and differentiation of eosinophils. B cells can be made responsive to IL-5 by treatment with suboptimal doses of IL-1. Interleukin-5 also promotes the generation of cytotoxic T cells from thymocytes. In thymocytes IL-5 induces the expression of high affinity IL-2 receptors. In contrast to human Interleukin-5, mouse IL-5 also acts on B cells. It induces the proliferation of pre-activated B cells and their differentiation. High affinity and low affinity receptors for IL-5 are expressed in all hematopoietic and lymphoid cells.The low affinity receptor, CD125, has a molecular mass of 50 kDa (p60). The introduction of p60 into these cells generates a high affinity IL-5 receptor. The second subunit of the IL-5 receptor is identical with the larger subunit of the receptor for the colony stimulating factor GM-CSF (CD131). This subunit is involved also in the generation of a high affinity receptor for IL-3 and is being referred to as common beta.
