IL-9 Antibody, anti-human, APC, REAfinity™

01MT10712

Clone REA1038 recognizes the human interleukin 9 (IL-9) antigen, which is secreted by mast cells and T helper (Tʜ) cells. First IL-9 production was associated to Tʜ2 cells, but it was also found in other Tʜ subsets. Recently, evidence for the existence of a specialized lineage of Tʜ cells producing IL-9, named Tʜ9, came up. IL-9 has pleiotropic effects, e.g. it promotes mast cell growth and function, is involved in CD4+ T cell subset differentiation and growth, enhances IgE production, supports hematopoiesis, and acts on airway and gut epithelial cells.Additional information: Clone REA1038 dis
