Recombinant protein. Human IL-7 aa 26-177 is fused at the C-terminus to the Fc portion of human IgG1 Knobs-into-Holes technology see reference J.B. Ridgway, et al. Protein Eng. 9, 617 1996. Source HEK 293 cells. Lyophilized. Contains PBS. Interleukin-7 IL-7 is a hematopoietic growth factor and a member of the IL-7/IL-9 family, which is produced by fetal liver cells, stromal cells in the bone marrow BM, thymus and other epithelial cells, including keratinocytes and enterocytes. The receptor of IL-7, IL-7R, is a heterodimeric complex consisting of the alpha-chain CD127 and the common cytokine receptor gamma-chain, shared with the receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21, and expressed in a variety of cells. IL-7 has a critical developmental function at every stage of T cell development, for both alphabeta and gammadelta lineages, and for the development and survival of naive T cells as well as generation and maintenance of CD4 and CD8 memory.
