Background
The IL-5 gene is located on chromosome 5 in humans, in close proximity to the genes encoding IL-3, IL-4, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, which are often co-expressed in TH2 cells. Through binding to the IL-5 receptor, IL-5 stimulates B cell growth and increases immunoglobulins secretion. IL-5 is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of eosinophils. Produced by mast cells, T cells, and eosinophils, IL-5 plays an important role in inducing cell-mediated immunity against parasitic infections and certain tumors. Elevated levels of IL-5 lead to Eosinophilia, which may result in the induction of asthma and other allergic diseases. Human and murine IL-5 is cross-species reactive. Recombinant Human IL-5 is a 26.5kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing two 116 amino acid chains.
