What Is Interleukin-2?
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a glycoprotein primarily secreted by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. It serves as a central regulator in immune responses, initiating the expansion and differentiation of various immune cells—including T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. IL-2 interacts with its receptor complex (IL-2R) composed of three subunits (α, β, and γ), which together trigger downstream pathways critical for immune activation.
This complex signaling cascade promotes T-cell growth, enhances cytotoxic activity, and contributes to immune homeostasis. IL-2 has been extensively studied for its therapeutic potential, especially in oncology and infectious disease research.
Applications of Recombinant Human IL-2
Recombinant human IL-2 proteins are widely used in experimental and clinical applications. These include:
- Cancer Immunotherapy: IL-2 promotes expansion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and NK cells that target tumor cells. Recombinant interleukin 2 is often studied for its synergy with checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T therapies.
- Autoimmune Disease Research: Investigating how IL-2 regulates T regulatory (Treg) cells helps in understanding conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
- Vaccine Development: Interleukin 2 human recombinant is a valuable adjuvant in vaccine research, enhancing the host immune response.
- Cell Culture and Expansion: Recombinant human interleukin 2 supports in vitro culture systems for T-cell expansion and functional assays.
- Transplantation Studies: It plays a role in immune tolerance mechanisms and has applications in graft-versus-host disease models.
By delivering consistent performance, our human recombinant IL-2 proteins help researchers uncover deeper insights into immune signaling and therapy development.
