Description
Cytokine with immunoregulatory activity. May promote the transition between innate and adaptive immunity. Induces the production of IgG(1) and IgG(3) in B-cells (By similarity). May play a role in proliferation and maturation of natural killer (NK) cells in synergy with IL15. May regulate proliferation of mature B- and T-cells in response to activating stimuli. In synergy with IL15 and IL18 stimulates interferon gamma production in T-cells and NK cells. During T-cell mediated immune response may inhibit dendritic cells (DC) activation and maturation.

Activity
1. Measured by its ability to bind human IL-21R in a functional ELISA.
2. Measured by its ability to induced Interferon gamma secretion by human natural killer lymphoma NK-92 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.4-2 ng/ml. -
