Anti-Interleukin 9 (Interleukin-9, IL-9, Cytokine P40, T-cell Growth Factor P40, IL9) (FITC)

Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a 14kD glycosylated cytokine that is secreted by CD4+ Th2 cells. It supports the growth of multiple hematopoietic cell types including Th cells, germinal center B cells, macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils, megakaryocytes, and erythrocytes. IL-9 exerts its biological effects through a receptor complex composed of IL-9 R and the common gamma chain. Mature human IL-9 shares 57% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-9.
