ABOUT NUCALA
Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is the major cytokine responsible for the growth and differentiation, recruitment, activation, and survival of eosinophils

Role of eosinophils in maintaining health includes1:
- Regulating the immune system
- Tissue regeneration and repair
- Host protection (eg, defending against parasitic infection)
- *According to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS), severe asthma is a type of asthma that requires treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), plus a second controller and/or systemic corticosteroid to prevent it from becoming uncontrolled, or asthma that remains uncontrolled despite this therapy.4
