BACKGROUND
IL-5 critically regulates expression of genes involved in cell survival, IgH switch recombination, maturation in B cells and genes required for growth, survival, and effector function of eosinophils. IL-5 was recognized as the major maturation and differentiation factor for eosinophils in mice and humans. IL-5 was originally defined as a T-cell-derived cytokine that triggers activated B cells for terminal differentiation into antibody-secreting plasma cells. IL-5 critically regulates expression of genes involved in proliferation, cell survival and maturation and effector functions of B cells and eosinophils. Growth in the number of circulating, airway tissue, and induced sputum eosinophils have been observed in patients with these diseases. Interleukin 5 has long been associated with several allergic diseases, including allergic rhinitis and asthma.

| SDS-PAGE | Bioactivity |
| Active Recombinant Human IL-5 Protein was determined by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie Blue. | Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.1-1 ng/mL. |
