Description

Interleukins (IL) are a group of cytokines that play an important role in the immune system. They modulate inflammation and immunity by regulating growth, mobility and differentiation of lymphoid and other cells.

Interleukin-13 (IL-13) inhibits inflammatory cytokine production and synergises with IL-2 in regulating interferon-gamma synthesis [8096327]. It has been identified as a central mediator of allergic asthma [9856949].
