Description
The recombinant human IL-21-Fc fusion protein is an innovative biologics engineered by covalently linking the human IL-21 pleiotropic cytokine with an immunoglobulin Fc domain through genetic recombination technology.
As a γc-chain cytokine family member secreted by antigen-activated CD4+ T cells (including Tfh and Th17 subsets) and NKT cells, IL-21 activates the JAK1/JAK3-STAT1/STAT3 signaling cascade via its heterodimeric receptor complex (IL-21R/γc), orchestrating immune cell functions: potentiating CD8+ T/NK cell-mediated tumor cytotoxicity, promoting Th17 polarization, suppressing Treg differentiation, and driving antibody affinity maturation through coordinated Tfh-B cell interactions.
The Fc fusion design not only extends serum half-life but also enhances immunomodulatory efficacy via Fcγ receptor-mediated targeted delivery, demonstrating unique therapeutic potential in cancer immunotherapy and autoimmune disease intervention.
In cell therapy manufacturing, the recombinant human IL-21-Fc fusion protein serves as a critical culture supplement to enhance the proliferation efficiency and effector cytotoxicity of engineered T/NK cells via JAK-STAT pathway activation, while promoting memory T-cell phenotypes and suppressing activation-induced cell exhaustion (AICD), thereby supporting the generation of highly potent and durable antitumor immune cell products.
