Interleukins are a subgroup of cytokines, molecules involved in the intercellular regulation of the immune system. The term interleukin was first coined in 1979 to refer to molecules that signal between different leucocyte types, although not exclusively restricted to leucocyte communication.

Interleukin-1α, Interleukin-1β, and Interleukin-1Ra Polymorphisms in Febrile Seizures
Journal of Child Neurology, 2005Febrile seizures are the most common form of childhood seizures. The exact mechanism promoting convulsions during a common febrile illness remains unknown, but it is accepted that genetic influences are likely to account for at least some of the cases.

Physiologic roles of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, and interleukin-7
Current Opinion in Hematology, 1996The use of gene targeting techniques has led to new insights into the physiologic function of lymphoid growth factors, their receptors, and associated signal transduction molecules in the formation and function of T and B cells. Mice rendered deficient for the growth factors interleukin-2 or interleukin-4 exhibit impairment in certain immune responses ...

Interleukin 4 is at 5q31 and interleukin 6 is at 7p15
Human Genetics, 1988DNA probes to the human interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 6 (IL6) genes have been used for in situ hybridization to normal human chromosomes and Southern blot analysis of a series of mouse-human hybrid cell lines. IL4 maps to 5q31, the same location as IL5 and other haemopoietic growth factor genes. IL6 maps to 7p15.

Interleukin‐7: An Interleukin for Rejuvenating the Immune System
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004Abstract: Infection of an individual (aged 20‐30 years) by a virus will cause a response from the T (thymus derived) lymphocytes of which there are approximately 3 × 1011. If the individual has not met the virus before, the response will come from the naive T cell subset (50 ± 10% of the total T cell pool at this age) containing recent thymic ...

Interleukin-12 and interleukin-16 in periodontal disease
Cytokine, 2005The immune system plays an important role in the pathological process of periodontitis. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is produced by monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. These cells are proinflammatory infiltrates in periodontitis tissues. High IL-12 will contribute to the immune reaction to Th1 type. IL-12 is an inducer of INF-r production.

Interleukin-1, Interleukin-1 Receptors and Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist
International Reviews of Immunology, 1998IL-1 (IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta) is the prototypic "multifunctional" cytokine. Unlike the lymphocyte and colony stimulating growth factors, IL-1 affects nearly every cell type, and often in concert with other cytokines or small mediator molecules. Although some lymphocyte and colony stimulating growth factors may be therapeutically useful, IL-1 is a ...

Differential bioassay of interleukin 2 and interleukin 4
Journal of Immunological Methods, 1987The T cell-derived lymphokines interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 4 (IL-4, originally BSF-1) both exhibit T cell growth-promoting activity. Recent observations that T cell lines commonly used as indicator cells in IL-2 bioassays also proliferate in response to IL-4 demonstrate the lack of specificity of these bioassays for IL-2.

Interleukin-2 and interleukin-15: immunotherapy for cancer
Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2002Interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-15 are two cytokine growth factors that regulate lymphocyte function and homeostasis. Early clinical interest in the use of IL-2 in the immunotherapy of renal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma demonstrated the first efficacy for cytokine monotherapy in the treatment of neoplastic disease.

Interleukin‐1β, Interleukin‐18, and the Interleukin‐1β Converting Enzymea
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998ABSTRACT: When injected intravenously into humans and animals, interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) is perhaps the most potent of the endogenous pyrogens. However, IL‐1β is initially synthesized as a relatively inactive precursor molecule (proIL‐1β) which lacks a signal peptide and hence remains inside the cell.
