Human Interleukin-5, IL-5 HiLA ELISA Kit

Introduction:
Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is an interleukin produced by type-2 T helper cells and mast cells.Through binding to the interleukin-5 receptor, interleukin 5 stimulates B cell growth and increases immunoglobulin secretion-primarily IgA. It is also a key mediator in eosinophil activation. IL-5 is a 115-amino acid (in human, 133 in the mouse) -long Th2 cytokine that is part of the hematopoietic family. Unlike other members of this cytokine family (namely interleukin 3 and GM-CSF), this glycoprotein in its active form is a homodimer.

Application
For quantitative detection of human IL-5 in buffer solution, serum, cell culture supernatant.

Storage Conditions
Store at 2-8 C in dark for 12 months.
