Background | |
IL-7, also known as interleukin 7, is a hematopoietic growth factor which belongs to the IL-7/IL-9 family. It is secreted by stromal in the bone marrow and thymus. IL-7 stimulates the proliferation of lymid progenitors. Produced by thymic stromal , spleen and keratinocytes, IL-7 can also co-stimulate the proliferation of mature T in combination with other factors, such as ConA and IL-2. It is important for proliferation during certain stages of B-maturation. IL-7 and the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) form a heterodimer that functions as a pre-pro-B growth-stimulating factor. It is found to be a cofactor for V(D)J rearrangement of the T receptor beta (TCRÃ) during early T development. IL7 can be produced locally by intestinal epithelial and epithelial goblet , and may serve as a regulatory factor for intestinal mucosal lymcytes. IL-7 is a hematopoietic growth factor that primarily affects early B and T . |
