Part Descriptions

LP16473-8   Interleukin 5
Interleukin 5 or IL-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. IL-5 is a 115 amino acid (in man, 133 in the mouse) long TH2 cytokine which is part of the hematopoietic family.Interleukin-5 is also expressed by eosinophils and has been observed in the mast cells of asthmatic airways by immunohistochemistry. IL-5 expression is regulated by several transcription factors including GATA3. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

LP16473-8   Interleukin 5
The Interleukins belong to the family termed cytokines. They are peptides used by immune and inflammatory cells to communicate and control cell operations. The cytokines have some similar actions to the Growth Factors but Growth Factors regulate proliferation of non-immune cells. Interleukin 5 is a 50,000-60,000 molecular weight glycoprotein originally called T Cell Replacing Factor. It is released primarily by activated T Cells. Its primary target cells are B cells and eosinophils. Interleukin 5 activates B cell differentiation. Its actions are similar to Interleukin 3. Interleukin 5 primes basophils for agonist-induced generation of Leukotriene C4. It is stimulated by Interleukin 2. Interleukin 5 stimulates growth and differentiation of eosinophil progenitor without influencing cells committed to neutrophils, basophils, or monocytes. It enhances responsiveness of eosinophils inducing polarization, shape change, chemotaxis, cytotoxity, oxygen radical release and prolongs survival.

LP7238-1   Body fld
The LOINC "Body fld" System represents body fluids other than serum, plasma, blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. When a LOINC term with the System "Body fld" is used, the specific specimen source or body fluid type should be reported elsewhere with the result. Where more specific terms for pleural, peritoneal, synovial fluid, etc. exist, we encourage you to use the more specific terms. In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst. "Asp" is used for abnormal fluid collections that are aspirated, while "Body fld" is used for named body fluids, such as synovial fluid or peritoneal fluid, that are not inherently pathologic.
