Gibco™ Human IL-3 Recombinant Protein (PeproTech®) is a high-purity cytokine essential for hematopoietic cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a key multipotent growth factor that regulates the development of erythroid, megakaryocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, mast cell, and monocytic lineages.
Produced in E. coli, this recombinant IL-3 is highly bioactive, with an ED50 ≤ 0.1 ng/mL, making it suitable for applications in stem cell research, immune cell activation, leukemia studies, and cytokine signaling research.
Key Features & Benefits
