简单介绍:Recombinant Human IL-10 produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 160 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18648 Dalton.
In humans IL-10 is produced by activated CD8 (+) peripheral blood T-cells, by T-helper CD4 (+) T-cell clones (resembling Th0, Th1, and Th2) after both antigen-specific and polyclonal activation, by B-cell lymphomas, and by monocytes following cell activation by bacterial lipopolysaccharides and mast cells. B-cell lines derived from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Burkitt's lymphoma constitutively secrete large quantities of IL-10 into the conditioned medium. The synthesis of IL-10 by monocytes is inhibited by IL-4 and IL-10.
