Receptor binding, bioactivity, and stability properties of wtIL5 and monomeric IL-5s

Rate constants, equilibrium constants, and stoichiometries were from optical biosensor analyses. TF-1 and B13 cell proliferation activities are given as the concentrations required from half maximal stimulation. Unfolding Tm and ΔH values are from CD measurements.

For wtIL5, stoichiometry was obtained from extrapolation of kinetic data, and no steady-state Kd is reported, since the kinetic sensorgrams did not form definitive steady state plateaus for this form.
