IL-7

Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is a protein that plays a key role in the immune system by promoting the growth and development of certain immune cells called T-cells and B-cells. These cells are crucial for fighting infections and maintaining immune health. IL-7 helps produce new immune cells in the bone marrow and thymus, ensuring the immune system stays strong and responsive. It also supports the survival of existing immune cells. Overall, IL-7 is vital for maintaining a healthy immune defense, especially during infections or immune system challenges.
