The Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a signaling compound that is a major mediator of the immune response, expressed in activated CD4-positive T-cells.
IL-21 (interleukin 21), also known as IL21, belongs to the IL-15/IL-21 family. It is a cytokine with immunoregulatory activity. IL21 is expressed in activated CD4-positive T-cells but not in CD8-positive T-cells, B-cells, or monocytes. It may promote the transition between innate and adaptive immunity. IL-21 has been tried as a therapy for alleviating allergic responses. It can significantly decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by T cells in addition to decreasing IgE levels in a mouse model for rhinitis (nasal passage inflammation).
