Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of interleukin 16 from nonhuman primates and from the mouse

N Bannert, HS Adler, A Werner, M Baier, R Kurth - Immunogenetics, 1998 - Springer
Abstract Interleukin 16 (IL-16) is synthesized as a 67 000 M r precursor (pro-IL-16), but only
a carboxy terminal part of 12 000–14 000 M r is secreted by CD8 (+) lymphocytes. This …
