IL-15 is an immunomodulating cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of T lymphocytes and shares many biological properties with IL-2. IL-15 exerts its biological activities primarily on T cells. It is also essential in the development, survival and activation of NK cells. Increased expression of IL-15 has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and diseases affiliated with retroviruses HIV and HTLV-I. Human IL-15 is biologically active on mouse cells as measured by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of mouse CTLL cells. Recombinant Human IL-15 is a 12.9kD protein consisting of 115 amino acid residues. Recombinant protein corresponding to human IL-15, expressed in E. coli. Uniprot/Swiss Accession: P40933 Molecular Weight: ~12.9kD (115aa sequence) Biological Activity: Determined by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of mouse CTLL-2 cells. The expected ED50 is 0.5ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >2x10e6units/mg.
