Human IL-5 R alpha/CD131 (Luc) HEK293 Reporter Cell

Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a growth factor and chemoattractant for eosinophils and is considered to play a key role in allergic rhinitis, eosinophilic esophagitis and idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. As the major cytokine in eosinophil development, IL-5 induces eosinophil migration, activation, and survival. Additionally, IL-5 has also been implicated in a range of conditions, such as asthma, cancer, and parasitic infections.
