Recombinant bovine IL-17A (PBP025) captured with rabbit anti-ovine IL-17A (AHP2376) and detected using rabbit anti-bovine IL-17A:Biotin (AHP2376B).
Cytokines are short proteins secreted by immune function cells that serve to facilitate communication between cells. Cytokine is a wide reaching description term encompassing several types of cell signaling messengers:
Cytokines can be produced by T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells as well as by non-immune system cells such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells. They carry out functions ranging from immune defence responses in infection and cancer to neurodevelopment. However, their key role lies in regulating hematopoiesis immunity, and inflammation.
