IL-7 is a regulator of early lymphoid progenitors of both the T cell and B cell lineages. The high level of expression of IL-7 mRNA under steady state conditions in the thymus suggest that IL-7 is an important regulator of basal lymphoid development. Early pre-clinical data also suggests that IL-7 may have a role in platelet production.
