IL-16, mouse recombinant
Mouse IL-16 was originally described as Lymphocyte Chemoattractant Factor (LCF), is produced primarily by CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and acts as a chemoattractant for lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, dendritic cells and Langerhans cells. Additionally, IL-16 has been reported to upregulate IL-2 receptor (CD25), induce progression of cells into G(1) and suppresses HIV & SIV replication. B-cells, eosinophils, macrophages, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, microglial cells and keratinocytes have also been shown to express IL-16. Human and mouse IL-16 share a high degree of structural and functional similarity. Recombinant mouse IL-16 is a non-glycosylated protein.
