IL-21, swine recombinant (rpoIL-21)

Produced in Yeast. Amino acid sequence: HKSSFQGQDR LLIRLRQLID TVDQLKNYVH DLDPELLPAP EDVQRHCEQS AFSCFQKVEL KSANTGDNEK IINVLIKQLK RKLPPTNAGR RQKHGLTCPT CDSYEKKPIK EFLERLKSLI QKMIHQHLS (129). Protein function: Cytokine with immunoregulatory activity. May promote the transition between innate and adaptive immunity. Induces the production of IgG(1) and IgG(3) in B-cells. May play a role in proliferation and maturation of natural killer (NK) cells in synergy with IL15. May regulate proliferation of mature B- and T- cells in response to activating stimuli. In synergy with IL15 and IL18 stimulates interferon gamma production in T-cells and NK cells. During T-cell mediated immune response may inhibit dendritic cells (DC) activation and maturation.
