Scope note

  • A soluble factor produced by activated T-LYMPHOCYTES that induces the expression of MHC CLASS II GENES and FC RECEPTORS on B-LYMPHOCYTES and causes their proliferation and differentiation. It also acts on T-lymphocytes, MAST CELLS, and several other hematopoietic lineage cells.

History note

  • 90; B-CELL GROWTH FACTOR was see INTERLEUKIN-4 1990-96
