Cytokines are a group of low molecular weight regulatory proteins secreted by white blood cells as well as a variety of other cells in the body in response to inducing stimuli. However, this slide is really out of date. We now know that there are membrane-bound forms of some of the secreted cytokines.
Cytokines regulate the intensity and duration of the immune response by stimulating or inhibiting the activation, proliferation, and/or differentiation of various cells and by regulating the secretion of antibodies or other cytokines. |
