Types of cytokines and their role in some pathological conditions in humans : A review

Abstract

The cytokines describe as small proteins produced and released by some cells possess a specific impact on
interactions and connections between the body cells. The cytokines act as intercellular orders and messengers in the
immune response. The cytokines include the types of interferons, the types of interleukins, tumor necrosis factor,
the mesenchymal growth factors, and adipokines. In the response to different stimuli, cytokines are released and
secreted from different types of cells inclusive leucocytes. Cytokines are an important role in the differentiation of
immune cells, inflammation process, development of angiogenesis with tumorigenesis, etc. This current review will
highlight the effect of cytokines types in different physiological roles and immune responses.
