Interleukin (IL) -15 is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a pivotal role in both innate and adaptive immunity. IL-15 is unique among cytokines due to its participation in a trans signaling mechanism in which IL-15 receptor alpha (IL-15R alpha) from one subset of cells presents IL-15 to neighboring IL-2R beta/gamma (c) -expressing cells. This newly discovered cytokine is produced by a wide variety of cells and tissues and like IL-2, stimulates the proliferation of T-lymphocytes and induces the generation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. Recombinant human IL-15 was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a redox buffer.
