MACS® GMP Recombinant Human IL-7，170-076-184，美天旎

Interleukin 7 (IL-7) is a pleiotropic cytokine with central roles in modulating T cell development and peripheral T cell homeostasis. IL-7 can act both as a T cell growth factor as well as a critical anti-apoptotic survival factor for naive and memory T cells.

MACS GMP Recombinant Human IL-7 is designed for ex vivo cell culture processing. No animal- or human-derived materials were used for the manufacture of this product, unless otherwise stated in the respective Certificate of Origin. The product is lyophilized without carrier protein or preservatives.

Biological activity

The primary sources of IL-7 are non-hematopoietic stromal cells in bone marrow, thymus, and lymphoid organs and tissues. IL-7 is a member of the type I cytokine family. It is related to IL-2 and signals through a heterodimeric receptor composed of the common cytokine signaling γ-chain and IL-7 receptor α-chain.

MACS GMP Recombinant Human IL-7 can be used for a variety of applications, including the ex vivo generation of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes.^2,3
