Interleukin 7 (IL7) is a hematopoietic growth factor secreted by the stromal cells of the red marrow and thymus capable of stimulating the proliferation of lymphoid progenitors. It is important for proliferation during certain stages of B-cell maturation, T and NK cell survival, development and homeostasis (From UniProt IL7_HUMAN).
