Interleukin 35: Critical Regulator of Immunity and Lymphocyte-mediated Diseases

Detection and eventual elimination of pathogens derive from productive interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems. Cytokines produced by innate immune cells provide instructional signals for the differentiation of naïve lymphocytes into appropriate effector subsets while the differentiated effector lymphocytes in turn produce cytokines that orchestrate adaptive immune responses that eventually eliminate the pathogen and re-establish immune homeostasis. Cytokines are a broad group of soluble factors that function in an autocrine or paracrine manner.
