Any of a group of cytokine proteins important in the regulation of lymphocyte function
any of several lymphokines that promote macrophages and killer T cells and B cells and other components of the immune system
Any of a class of naturally occurring proteins important in regulation of lymphocyte function. Several known types are recognized as crucial constituents of the body's immune system (see immunity). Antigens and microbes stimulate production of interleukins, which induce production of various types of lymphocytes in a complex series of reactions that ensure a plentiful supply of T cells that fight specific infectious agents
(IL) - a cytokine found in white blood cells that stimulates them to fight infection
-similar to interferon; a small protein produced by white blood cells to fight infections and some forms of cancer There are many types of interleukins, numbered 1, 2, 3 up to 10 or more Some interleukins have beneficial effects, others are harmful

n (in-ter-LOO-kin) Any of several secreted regulatory proteins that are members of the family of cytokines (immune system molecules) that affect functions of specific cell types Interleukins are produced by immune system cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages and monocytes, and modulate inflammation and immunity by regulating growth, mobility and differentiation of lymphoid and other cells
A generic term for a group of protein factors produced by macrophages and T cells in response to stimulation by antigens or mitogens and affecting primary T cells
a cytokine secreted by immune cells that regulates a range of immune system functions Interleukin 2 (IL-2) promotes the proliferation and activity of other immune cells, and is under study as a immunomodulatory treatment for HIV disease
A cytokine that acts as a signal between different leukocyte populations
