Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is an important cytokine secreted from Th2 cells. The functions attributed to IL-13 overlap significantly with those of IL-4 (induces IgE secretion from B cells and inhibits expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-8 and IL-6), but differs from IL-4 in that IL-13 seems to link inflammatory response of immune cells to the pathophysiological changes in the surrounding non-immune cells. The receptor subunits of IL-13 consist of IL-4Rα, IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2. Human and mouse IL-13 are cross-reactive. Recombinant mouse IL-13 is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 111 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 12.3 kDa.

Interleukin 16 (IL-16) is produced primarily by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and acts as a chemo-attractant for lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, dendritic cells and Langerhans cells. Additionally, IL-16 has been reported to upregulate IL-2 receptor (CD25), induce progression of cells to the G1 phase and suppress HIV & SIV replication. Recombinant mouse IL-16 is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 127 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 13.2 kDa.

Interleukin-17AF (IL-17AF) is a member of the IL-17 family of proteins produced by a subset of T cells, called Th17, following stimulation with IL-23. Since IL-17AF is thought to signal through the IL-17R receptor, its biological function is similar to that of IL-17A in that it induces the production of a variety of chemokines, in addition to airway neutrophilia. In regard to these functions, IL-17AF has less activity than the IL-17A homodimer but, greater activity than the IL-17F homodimer. Human and rat IL-17AF both show activity on mouse cells. Recombinant mouse IL-17AF is a non-glycosylated, disulfide-linked heterodimer. It is containing one IL-17A subunit and one IL-17F subunit, with a total of 271 amino acids and an molecular weight of 30.7 kDa.

Interleukin-17E (IL-17E), also commonly called IL-25, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine member of a six-species family of proteins (IL-17A-17F). IL-17F stimulates secretion of IL-8 and induces activation of NF-kB by binding to the receptor IL-17RB. Recombinant mouse IL-17E is a non-glycosylated, disulfide-linked homodimer, containing two 145 amino acid chains, with a total molecular weight of 35.5 kDa.
