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 …

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 …

Jul 26, 2025 · Interleukins are small proteins that form a communication network within the body’s immune system. They act as messengers, allowing immune cells to “talk” to one another and …

Jan 5, 2026 · 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 …

Secreted proteins that bind to their specific receptors and play a role in intercellular communication among leukocytes are named interleukins.

Interleukin is a general term for a class of cytokines first found to be expressed in white blood cells as a means of intercellular signaling. Interleukins are not only expressed by leukocytes but can be …
