What is IL-15?

IL-15 (Interleukin-15) is a cytokine secreted by monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and epithelial cells. It is critical for the development, survival, and activation of natural killer (NK) cells and CD8+ memory T cells. IL-15 plays a central role in antiviral immunity and is a key marker for researchers in NK cell biology and immunotherapy.
