IL-21 (Human), Recombinant Protein, CHO, Tag Free

Premium CytoGrow™ growth factor suitable for immuno-oncology, vaccine research, autoimmune disease models, T and B cell biology, and cytokine signaling studies.

CytoGrow™ Recombinant IL-21 (Human), CHO, Tag Free

Recombinant human IL-21 is a glycoprotein cytokine expressed in CHO cells to ensure native-like folding and post-translational modifications. This tag-free format preserves the natural structure and activity of IL-21, making it suitable for cell-based assays and immunological studies where tag-free purity is critical.
IL-21 is primarily produced by activated CD4⁺ T cells and plays a pivotal role in regulating immune responses. It promotes the proliferation and function of NK cells, CD8⁺ T cells, and B cells, and is involved in antibody production, cytotoxicity, and immune memory. IL-21 is widely used in studies of cancer immunotherapy, chronic infection, and autoimmune disease.
