• Vialed, highly purified growth factors with high biological activity
• Broad range of highly purified natural and recombinant lymphokines
• Enriched culture supplements to be reconstituted/added in the medium of your choice
• Propagate your cells under more defined serum-reduced or serum-free conditions

Cytokines are a class of signaling molecules or intercellular mediators (proteins, peptides, and glycoproteins) that primarily affect cells of the immune system; however they can affect various cell types outside of the immune system. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. The effects of cytokines on cells can yield different outcomes. Some cytokines cause cell proliferation, while others may cause chemotaxis between cell types, and others can even cause cell death. Cytokines and growth factors are similar in their structure and mechanism of action. Both bind and initiate signaling pathways and many share several intracellular signaling components.

Corning offers a range of cytokines and glycoproteins that are derived from different species. These cytokines have been used to promote long-term proliferation in cell culture and to induce cell-mediated immune responses in a variety of cell types.
