Interleukin (IL) family

Interleukins are a large group of cytokines with immunomodulatory functions that elicit a wide variety of responses in cells and tissues.  Interleukin proteins play an important role in growth, differentiation and activation of cells in the haematopoietic and  immune systems.

Interleukins also play a crucial role in orchestrating the body’s physiological response to infection, while also playing a significant part in the functional alterations associated with specific diseases or disorders. Given their pivotal role, it has become clear that interleukins represent a group of proteins with considerable potential as therapeutic targets.

Interleukin superfamily can be divided into 4 major groups:

– the IL-1 like cytokines

– the class I helical cytokines (IL4-like and IL6/12-like),

– the class II helical cytokines (IL10-like and IL28-like)

– the IL17-like cytokines

Our range includes IL-1 like proteins as well as class I helical cytokines such as IL-3, LIF, OSM or CNTF.

Qkine robust animal-free manufacturing platform, along with rigorous quality control procedures, ensure that all our interleukins cytokines are:
