● IL2 ----- induces proliferation of TH1 cells .
● IL3 ----- induces proliferation of myeloid stem cells.
● IL4 ------
¤ Produced by TH2 cells (blocks proliferation of TH1 cells along with IL10).
¤ Associated with IgE class switch ( similar to IL13)
● IL6 -----
¤ Required for activation of B cells to plasma cells
¤ Key role in synthesis of acute phase proteins during inflammation.
● IL7---- induces proliferation of lymphoid stem cells.
● IL8 ------ chemotactic for neutrophil.
● IL10 ------ blocks proliferation of TH1 cells (produced by TH2 cells).
● IL11------- increases the platelet count.
