Biology:T-cell growth factor
From HandWiki
T-cell growth factors acronym: TCGF(s) are signaling molecules collectively called growth factors which stimulate the production and development of T-cells. A number of them have been discovered, among them many members of the interleukin family. The thymus is one organ which releases TCGFs. TCGFs have been able to induce T-cell production outside the body for injection.
List of TCGFs
- IL-2[1][full citation needed]
- IL-7[2][full citation needed]
- IL-9[3]
- IL-15[4]
