Interleukin 10, also known as human cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor, is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. In humans, interleukin 10 is encoded by the IL10 gene.
Inflammatory Response: Some interleukins, such as IL-1 and IL-6, promote inflammation by triggering immune cell recruitment and cytokine production, essential for fighting infections.
The IL (interleukin)-6-type cytokines IL-6, IL-11, LIF (leukaemia inhibitory factor), OSM (oncostatin M), ciliary neurotrophic factor, cardiotrophin-1 and cardiotrophin-like cytokine are an important family of mediators involved in the regulation of the acute-phase response to injury and infection.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine, a protein that helps your body regulate immune responses. IL-6 tests help evaluate conditions linked to inflammation.
Interleukin-(IL)-11 is a cytokine involved in hematopoiesis, cancer metastasis, and inflammation. IL-11 belongs to the IL-6 cytokine family, binding to the complex of receptors glycoprotein gp130 and the ligand-specific-receptor subunits (IL-11R or their soluble counterpart sIL-11R).
Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a cytokine that stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. The hyperactive hIL-3 variant SC-55494 was shown to have at least two major conformations by high-resolution NMR spectroscopy.
The cytokine interleukin (IL) 25 has been implicated in the initiation of type 2 immunity by driving the expression of type 2 cytokines such as IL-5 and IL-13, although its role in the regulation of immunity and infection-induced inflammation is unknown.
As a pleiotropic cytokine, interleukin (IL)-6 plays a key role in mediating the hosts immune defense. Multiple cell types are involved in IL-6 production, including macrophages, dendritic cells, fibroblasts, mast cells, vascular endothelial cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, etc.
