Effective communication between cells is crucial to govern cellular activities. Cytokines are a key part of the cell signaling process and mediate communication between cells. Cytokines are a type of small proteins released by cells that affect the behavior of other cells. There are several types of cytokines, including interleukins, interferons, and tumor necrosis factor. Many types of cells can produce cytokines, such as immune cells like macrophages, mast cells, and B lymphocytes. Cytokines are particularly important in the immune system because they help coordinate this balance between the cellular immune response and the immune response. humoral immune system. Several different factors come into play in how cytokines work and what effect they have. There are many different types of cytokines, and each cytokine has a corresponding cell surface receptor. Cytokines bind to specific receptors on target cells with high affinity. The ensuing intercellular signaling cascades then have an effect on the functioning of the cells. According to the type of cytokines,...
