Description
Description: EBI3 Mouse Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 207 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 22.9kDa. The Murine EBI3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: EBI3 has an induced expression in B lymphocytes in reaction to Epstein-Barr virus infection. EBI3 encodes a secreted glycoprotein belonging to the hematopoietin receptor family, and heterodimerizes with a 28 kDa protein to form iIL-27. EBI3 drives rapid clonal expansion of naive cd4(+) t-cells. EBI3 strongly synergizes with IL-12 to activate IFN-gamma production of naive cd4(+) t-cells. EBI3 mediates its biologic effects through the cytokine receptor wsx-1/tccr
