IL-15 serves as an immunomodulatory cytokine that triggers the growth of T lymphocytes, sharing numerous traits with IL-2. Its primary effects are directed towards T cells, aiding in their development, longevity, and activation. Moreover, IL-15 plays a crucial role in nurturing and activating natural killer (NK) cells. Elevated IL-15 levels have been associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and diseases linked to retroviruses like HIV and HTLV-I.
In experiments, Human IL-15 has demonstrated biological activity on mouse cells, notably by stimulating the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse CTLL cells. This recombinant protein, consisting of 115 amino acid residues and weighing 12.9 kDa, mirrors these functions.
