IL-18 (Human), Recombinant Protein, CHO, Tag Free

Premium CytoGrow™ growth factor suitable for inflammation and autoimmune disease research, Th1/Th2 balance studies, cancer immunotherapy, and cytokine signaling analysis.

CytoGrow™ Recombinant IL-18 (Human), CHO, Tag Free

Recombinant human IL-18 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced in CHO cells, ensuring authentic glycosylation and proper protein folding. This tag-free version closely mimics the native human IL-18, making it ideal for use in immunological assays, inflammation studies, and cytokine signaling research.
IL-18 plays a critical role in both innate and adaptive immunity by inducing IFN-γ production, especially in synergy with IL-12. It activates NK cells and T cells, enhancing their cytotoxic activity and promoting Th1-type immune responses. IL-18 is widely studied in the context of infectious disease, autoimmune disorders, cancer immunology, and inflammatory conditions.
