- Any of various protein molecules secreted by cells of the immune system that serve to regulate the immune system
- Cytokines (Greek cyto-, cell; and -kinos, movement) are any of a number of small proteins that are secreted by specific cells of the immune system and glial cells, which carry signals locally between cells, and thus have an effect on other cells. ...
- (Cytokines) A protein produced by white blood cells, that acts as a messenger between cells. Cytokines can stimulate or inhibit the growth and activity of various immune cells. Cytokines are essential for a coordinated immune response. ...
- (Cytokines) Soluble proteins secreted by cells of the lymphoid system which act as a signal to other lymphoid cells. There are two categories of cytokines: lymphokines, secreted by lymphocytes; and monokines, secreted by macrophages. ...
- (Cytokines) Hormone-like proteins secreted by many different cell types which regulate cell proliferation and function.
- (Cytokines) powerful chemical substances secreted by T cells. Cytokines are an important factor in the production of inflammation and show promise as treatments for MS.
- (Cytokines) small, hormone-like proteins released by leukocytes, endothelial cells, and other cells to promote an inflammatory immune response to an injury.
- (cytokines) Proteins which occur naturally in the human body, and which are similar to hormones. They act as intercellular mediators and differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. ...
- Cytokines are messenger molecules produced by lymphocytes. They communicate with other cells of the immune system and recruit them to fight off infection or reject foreign tissue from the body.
