Description

Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. It is produced by T cells and is involved in the immune response, particularly in the stimulation of bone marrow to produce various blood cells.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that IL-3 may be referred to as 'interleucina-3' in some contexts, but the canonical term is preferred in formal medical settings. It is important to maintain a clinical register and avoid colloquial expressions that may arise in discussions about immune responses.

Example Sentences
