Recombinant Cytokines
Recombinant cytokines are proteins that are produced in a laboratory setting using recombinant DNA technology. These proteins are used to stimulate the immune system, promote cell growth and activate inflammatory responses. They can also be used in research to examine their effects on cellular and physiological processes. Their primary benefit is that they provide an alternative to using naturally occurring proteins, which can be difficult to produce or obtain in large quantities. As a result, recombinant cytokines have become an important tool in many areas of medical research, including immunology and cancer therapy.
