Description

Introduction
Human interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a cytokine that regulates T cell and natural killer cell activation and proliferation. IL15 binds to the alpha subunit of the IL15 receptor (IL15RA) with high affinity. IL15 also binds to the beta and gamma chains of the IL2 receptor, but not the alpha subunit of the IL2 receptor. IL15 is structurely and functionally related to IL2. Both cytokines share some subunits of receptors, allowing them to compete for and negatively regulate each other's activity. CD8+ memory T cell number is controlled by a balance between IL-15 and IL-2. Despite their many overlapping functional properties, IL-2 and IL-15 are, in fact, quite distinct players in the immune system. IL-15 is constitutively expressed by a wide variety of cell types and tissues, including monocytes, macrophages and DCs. Mature human IL15 shares 70% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat IL15.
