Recombinant Mouse IL-10 (Carrier-free)

IL-10 is an immunosuppressive cytokine produced by a variety of mammalian cell types including macrophages, monocytes, T cells, B cells, mast cells in mice, and keratinocytes. IL-10 inhibits the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-alpha. Similar to IL-4, IL-10 enhances humoral immune responses through Th2 cells and B cells. IL-10 attenuates cell-mediated immune reactions. IL-10 inhibits synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines from macrophages and Tregs and also suppresses the antigen-presentation capacity of antigen presenting cells. IL-10 is stimulatory for Th2 cells and enhances B cell maturation and antibody production.

Measured by the dose-dependent co-stimulation (with IL-4) of the proliferation of murine MC/9 cells. The ED₅₀ was found to be < 2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5 x 10⁵ units/mg.

Recombinant Mouse IL-10 is an 18.7 kDa protein of 161 amino acid residues.
