Immunology? C O N T E N T SSee AlsoDescriptionIL-5 is an interleukin produced by T helper-2 cells and mast cells. Its functions are to stimulate B cell growth and increase immunoglobulin secretion. It is also a key mediator in eosinophil activation. DiscussionAs the main regulator of eosinopoiesis, eosinophil maturation and activation, and IgA production, IL5 contributes in several ways to human immune defenses against various pathogens, including helminths and infectious agents of the digestive and respiratory tracts. On the other hand, the increase in number of eosinophils and the activation of these cells, both of which are related to elevated IL5 production, are the cause of severe pathologic disorders, as in asthma or hypereosinophilic syndromes.
