INTRODUCTION
IL10 is a cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and to a lesser extent by lymphocytes. This cytokine has pleiotropic effects in immunoregulation and inflammation. It down-regulates the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II Ags, and costimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. This cytokine can block NF-kappa B activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Knockout studies in mice suggested the function of this cytokine as an essential immunoregulator in the intestinal tract.
DESCRIPTION
IL-10 Recombinant Rat produced in E.coli is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 160 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.6 kDa.
The Interleukin-10 Mouse is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
