IL5, also known as interleukin-5, is a member of the hematopoietin receptor superfamily and is comprised of a cytokine-specific alpha chain and the common beta chain that is shared among these cytokines for signaling. This interleukin produced by type-2 T helper cells and mast cells. It related hematopoietic cytokines that are important for allergic inflammation.. It is a lineage-specific cytokine for eosinophilpoiesis and plays an important part in diseases associated with increased eosinophils, such as asthma. In humans, IL-5 primarily affects cells of the eosinophilic lineage, and promotes their differentiation, maturation, activation, migration and survival, while in mice IL-5 also enhances Ig class switching and release from B1 cells. IL-5 also promotes differentiation of basophils and primes them for histamine and leukotriene release. Recombinant mouse IL-5, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
