Product Description: A key question regarding the action of IL-5 in responsive cells has been the molecular mechanism of signal transduction cascade after IL-5 binding to the functional IL-5 receptor (IL-5R). In this volume the history of the initial discovery of the IL-5 activity that appeared to be involved in growth and differentiation of B cells and eosinophils is first briefly summarized, and the developments that lead to the molecular characterization of IL-5 are outlined...read more
