Poking holes in the network
Article Abstract:
The differing effects of the cytokines interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) on the immune system were discussed at the 'Cytokines in Normal and Abnormal Immune Regulation' conference, held in Pacific Grove, CA, Jan 25-28, 1992. Removing the gene for IL-2 affects the immune system's balance of lymphokines, whereas IL-4 was found to be indispensable for the secretion of IgE. IL-10 appears to function as a cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor.
