INTRODUCTION
EBI3 has an induced expression in B lymphocytes in reaction to Epstein-Barr virus infection. EBI3 encodes a secreted glycoprotein belonging to the hematopoietin receptor family, and heterodimerizes with a 28 kDa protein to form iIL-27. EBI3 drives rapid clonal expansion of naive cd4(+) t-cells. EBI3 strongly synergizes with IL-12 to activate IFN-gamma production of naive cd4(+) t-cells. EBI3 mediates its biologic effects through the cytokine receptor wsx-1/tccr.
DESCRIPTION
EBI3 Macaque Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 210 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23.4kDa. The EBI3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
