Recombinant Protein. Human IL-2 aa 21-153 mutant H9 containing the mutations L80F / R81D / L85V / I 86V / I92F 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-2 IL-2 is a 133 amino acid glycoprotein with one intramolecular disulfide bond and variable glycosylation. It is secreted by activated T cells and induces proliferation and maturation of activated T cells, natural killer cells and lymphokine activated killer cells. IL-2 also stimulates proliferation of antibody-producing B cells, activates neutrophils and induces mononuclear cells to secrete IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and -beta. Moreover, studies have shown that IL-2 is required for activation-induced apoptosis, an important homeostatic mechanism in the immune system, which is involved in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance to self-antigens.
