Product name:Human IL-9 ELISA Kit
Description:
Interleukin 9 (IL9) is a cytokine preferentially produced by T helper type 2 lymphocytes and active on various cell types such as T and B lymphocytes, mast cells and haemopoietic progenitors; but no effect of this cytokine has been reported so far on mononuclear phagocytes. IL9 stimulates cell proliferation and prevents apoptosis. The IL9 receptor (IL 9R) belongs to the haemopoietic receptor superfamily and its signal transduction involves mainly the (JAK/STAT) pathway. Some studies have implicated IL9 as an important cytokine in a number of Th2 cytokine mediated pathologies, in particular asthma.
