Biolegend, 514303, Biotin anti-human/mouse IL-21 Antibody, 50μg

Interleukin 21 (IL-21) is a potent immunomodulatory cytokine mainly produced by NKT and CD4+ T-cells, particularly the inflammatory Th17 subset and has pleiotropic effects on both innate and adaptive immune responses.  These actions include positive effects such as enhancing proliferation of NK cells and cytotoxic T cells, and inhibitory effects on the antigen-presenting function of dendritic cells.  It can also be proapoptotic for B cells and NK cells.  Recent studies have shown that IL-21 is also an autocrine cytokine that potently induces T(H)17 differentiation and suppresses Foxp3 expression, and serves as a target for treating inflammatory diseases.
