Structural Formula Vector Image
Title: Interleukin-10
Additional Names: Cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor; CSIF; IL-10
Literature References: Immunomodulatory cytokine produced by a wide variety of mammalian cell types including macrophages, monocytes, T cells, B cells and keratinocytes. Inhibits the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor a. Upregulates humoral immune responses and attenuates cell-mediated immune reactions. Protein composed of 160 amino acid residues; mol wt 18.5 kDa. Exists as a homodimer; the native human form has little or no glycosylation. A viral analog has been identified that is produced by Epstein Barr virus (EBV). Discovery: D. F. Fiorentino et al., J. Exp. Med. 170, 2081 (1989).
