Interleukin-15 (IL-15), a cytokine, belongs to the 4α-helix bundle cytokine family. IL-15 gene is located on human chromosome 4q31.2.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human IL15
Biochem/physiol Actions
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) can activate inflammatory cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and synthesis of other inflammatory cytokines. It plays a key role in the progression, homeostatic proliferation, and activation of natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs). IL-15 plays a crucial role in the homeostatic modulation of the cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) memory T cells. IL-15 upregulates the expression of telomerase and aids in enhancing the proliferative capacity of NK, NKT-like, and CD8 T Cells. Mutation in the IL-15 gene results in psoriasis vulgaris.

Previous studies have identified mRNA three isoforms encoding interleukin-15 (IL-15) that are produced through differential splicing and encode for the same mature IL-15 protein with two different signal peptides. Our analysis of mouse intestinal epithelial cells revealed two new IL-15

Through a series of linkage analyses in a large Chinese family cohort of psoriasis, we previously identified and confirmed a non-HLA psoriasis linkage locus PSORS9 within a small region at 4q31.2-32.1. Within the critical region of the PSORS9 locus, IL-15

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a cytokine that has been shown to expand CD8 T cell and natural killer (NK) cell populations, and therefore has potential for potentiating adoptive immune cell therapy for cancer. Previously, IL-15 has been shown to induce proliferation
