Description : |
Interleukin 4 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by activated T cells, mast cells, and basophils. It was initially identified as a B cell differentiation factor (BCDF), as well as a B cell stimulatory factor (BSF1). Subsequent to the molecular cloning and expression of both human and mouse IL-4, numerous other functions have been described on B cells as well as other hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells, including T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, mast cells, myeloid and erythroid progenitors, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, etc. IL-4 exhibits anti-tumor effects both in vivo and in vitro. |
