| Cat. No. : |
IL4-468H |
| Description : |
Interleukin (IL)-4, produced primarily by CD4(+) T cells is an immunomodulatory cytokine, which can inhibit the growth of tumour cells.IL-4 has been known as a Th2 cytokine and can act on B cells, T cells, and monocytes.Interleukin (IL)-4 exhibits antitumor activity in rodent experimental gliomas, which is likely mediated by the actions of IL-4 on a variety of immune cells present in and around the tumor masses. |
