Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL) 15 is an inflammatory cytokine that plays an essential role in the activation, proliferation, and maintenance of specific natural killer cell and T-cell populations, and has been implicated as a mediator of inflammatory diseases. An anti-IL-15 antibody that blocked IL-15-dependent cellular responses was isolated by phage display and optimised via mutagenesis of the third...
