GlossaryInterleukin-15

protein that stimulates immune cells, including NK and T cells

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system by promoting the growth and activity of certain white blood cells, including natural killer (NK) cells and T cells. It is involved in immune responses and has been studied for its potential role in conditions like alopecia areata, where it may contribute to the autoimmune attack on hair follicles.
