Description: IL-7 is a hematopoietic growth factor with a key impact on early B and T cells. It originates from thymic stromal cells, spleen cells, and keratinocytes. In addition to its primary effects, IL-7 can collaborate with other factors like ConA and IL-2 to stimulate the proliferation of mature T cells. Interestingly, Human and murine IL-7 show cross-species reactivity.
