INTERLEUKIN 1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST
Sameer Gani*
ABSTRACT
Interleukins are a group of cytokines that were first seen to be
expressed by white blood cells.[1] The function of the immune system
depends in a large part on interleukins, and rare deficiencies of a
number of them have been described, all featuring autoimmune
diseases or immune disorder. The majority of interleukins are
synthesised by helper CD4 T lymphocytes, as well as through
monocytes, macrophages and endothelial cells. They promote the
development and differentiation of T and B lymphocytes and
haematopoetic cells. Interleukin receptors on astrocytes in the hippocampus are also known
to be involved in the development of spatial memories in mice.[2]
