Interleukin 3 (IL3) is a T cell-derived glycoprotein involved in cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. It regulates haemopoiesis, the formation of blood cells in the body. IL3, also called multi-CSF (multi-lineage colony stimulating factor), is produced by T cells and mast cells, after activation with mitogens or antigens.
