Interleukin-5 (IL-5) amino acid sequence of mature human and mouse are approx. 75% identical, however, the human one is marginally active on mouse cells whereas mouse one is highly active on human cells. Along with the chemokine eotaxin it plays a vital role in the coordination of the eosinophil-based inflammatory response.
