Analysis of IL-21 (Human) by MSD Hypersensitive Multi-Factor Electrochemiluminescence Analyzer (CAT#: STEM-MB-0331-LGZ)

Introduction

Interleukin (IL)-21 is a new member of the type I cytokine superfamily. Although it is most homologous to IL-15, it has a unique receptor chain, IL-21R, that pairs with the γ-common cytokine receptor chain. Interleukin (IL)-21 is crucial for the regulation of lymphocytes and is implicated in autoimmune and other diseases.
