MSH: A cytokine that promotes differentiation and activation of EOSINOPHILS. It also triggers activated B-LYMPHOCYTES to differentiate into IMMUNOGLOBULIN-secreting cells.,CSP: lymphokine produced by antigen or mitogen activated T lymphocytes that acts as a differentiation factor for B lymphocytes and eosinophils and increases the production of IgA by B lymphocytes.,NCI: One of a group of related proteins made by leukocytes (white blood cells) and other cells in the body. IL-5 is made mainly by some T lymphocytes. It causes B lymphocytes to make more antibodies and increases the number of eosinophils. IL-5 made in the laboratory is used as a biological response modifier to boost the immune system in cancer therapy. It is a type of cytokine.,NCI: Human interleukin-5 protein (134 aa, 15 kDa precursor) is encoded by the human interleukin-5 (IL5) gene. This cytokine acts as a growth and differentiation factor for eosinophils and induces terminal differentiation of B-cells which become Ig-secreting cells. It is th
