Anti-Human IL-17B (I-408-100ug)

IL17B is a disulfide-linked homodimer, also known as Cytokine CX1, NIRF [neuronal interleukin-17-related factor; neuronal IL17-related factor], Zcyto7, and IL20. IL17B is expressed by T-cells and stimulates the release of TNF-alpha and IL1-beta in the monocytic cell line, THP-1. It does not induce expression of IL1-alpha, IL6, IFN-gamma, or G-CSF in these cells.1,2 IL-17B is known to stimulate the proliferation of chondrocytes, bone, and is highly expressed in nervous tissue, resulting in repair of diseased tissue. IL-17B, either alone or in combination with other cytokines or growth factors is known to aid wound healing.
