Interleukins (ILs) are a group of cytokines (secreted proteins and signal molecules) that are expressed and secreted by white blood cells (leukocytes) as well as some other body cells. The human genome encodes more than 50 interleukins and related proteins. [1]

2022年8月22日 · Interleukins (IL) are a type of cytokine first thought to be expressed by leukocytes alone but have later been found to be produced by many other body cells. They play essential roles in the activation and differentiation of immune cells, as well as proliferation, maturation, migration, and adhesion.

Interleukin (IL), any of a group of naturally occurring proteins that mediate communication between cells. Interleukins regulate cell growth, differentiation, and motility. They are particularly important in stimulating immune responses, such as inflammation.

2016年8月28日 · Secreted proteins that bind to their specific receptors and play a role in intercellular communication among leukocytes are named interleukins.

2025年3月3日 · Interleukins are cytokines produced and secreted mainly by CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes. Interleukins promote development and differentiation of natural killer cells, T and B lymphocytes and...

An important role in the homeostasis and disease progression, including kidney diseases, is attributed to interleukins, which perform several biological functions and interact with other cells and tissues of the body.

2002年11月19日 · Interleukins are low molecular weight proteins produced by leukocytes that bind to cell surface receptors and act in an autocrine and/or paracrine fashion. These secreted factors modify the cell differentiation program (survival, proliferation, maturation, induction of or protection from apoptosis) of the target cells to which they bind.

Interleukins are cytokines that play a crucial role in the body's defense against infection, injury, and inflammation. They include interleukin-1, interleukin-8, and TNF α, which attract neutrophils, and interleukin-10, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

One of a group of related proteins made by leukocytes (white blood cells) and other cells in the body. Interleukins regulate immune responses. Interleukins made in the laboratory are used as biological response modifiers to boost the immune system in cancer therapy. An interleukin is a type of cytokine. Also called IL.
