Recombinant Human IL-16
Induced chemotaxis of primary human T cells. A significant increase in migration over basal levels was reported in response to Human IL-16 starting at 5 ng/ml.
Non-reducing (-) and reducing (+) conditions in a 4 - 20% Tris-Glycine gel stained with Coomassie Blue. 1 μg of protein was loaded in each lane. Human IL-16 has a predicted Mw of 13.4 kDa.

Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is produced by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and functions as a chemoattractant for lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, dendritic cells, and Langerhans cells. Additionally, IL-16 upregulates the expression of the interleukin-2 receptor (CD25), modulates T lymphocyte growth, and suppresses the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV).Activity Assay
Human IL-16 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the ability to induce chemotaxis of primary human T cells by Human IL-16.AA Sequence
