Guinea pig IL-2(Interleukin 2) ELISA Kit

Background

Interleukin-2 (IL2) is a key cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in the activation and regulation of immune responses. First discovered in 1976, IL-2 was initially referred to as "T-cell growth factor" due to its role in the proliferation of T cells, a vital component of the immune system. IL-2 has since become recognized as one of the most important cytokines for maintaining immune homeostasis and enhancing the activity of immune cells, including natural killer (NK) cells, B cells, and T cells. Its role in immune modulation has significant implications in both health and disease, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infections.
