Recombinant Pig Interleukin-5 (IL5)

The expression region of this recombinant Pig IL5 covers amino acids 22-134. The theoretical molecular weight of the IL5 protein is 17 kDa. This IL5 protein is produced using e.coli expression system. The N-terminal 6xHis tag was fused into the coding gene segment of IL5, making it easier to detect and purify the IL5 recombinant protein in the later stages of expression and purification.

IL5, a member of the interleukin family, is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system. IL5 is primarily produced by T-helper 2 (Th2) cells and is involved in the regulation of immune responses, particularly those related to eosinophils. This cytokine promotes the growth, activation, and differentiation of eosinophils, which are white blood cells involved in the immune response against parasites and in allergic reactions. IL5 is essential for maintaining the appropriate balance of immune cells and is implicated in various inflammatory and allergic conditions. Studying pig IL5 contributes to understanding immune regulation in pigs and may have implications for veterinary medicine and livestock health.
