Cytokines are peptide hormones that regulate a wide variety of immune and inflammatory
processes. Individual cytokines are produced by many different cell types and exhibit
pronounced pleiotropism. Cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor a interleukins -5,
-10, and -12 play important roles in immunity. Interleukins -2 and -4, and transforming
growth factor 7 mediate lymphocyte activation and differentiation.
