Target Information
Bovine interleukin 16 (IL16) is a multifaceted cytokine that plays a significant role in the immune system of cattle. It is primarily involved in the recruitment and activation of CD4+ T cells at the site of inflammation, making it a pro-inflammatory cytokine. IL16 stimulates a migratory response in CD4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils, and primes CD4+ T-cells for IL-2 and IL-15 responsiveness. It also induces T-lymphocyte expression of the interleukin 2 receptor. Interestingly, IL16 uses the CD4 molecule as its receptor, which is distinct from other cytokines that have unique receptors.
