What is cytokine? Mention it\'s significance |
| Answer» Cytokines\xa0are a group of proteins secreted by cells of the immune system that act as chemical messengers.\xa0Cytokines\xa0released from one cell affect the actions of other cells by binding to receptors on their surface. Through this process,\xa0cytokines\xa0help regulate the immune response.\xa0They act through receptors, and are especially important in the\xa0immune system; cytokines modulate the balance between humoral and cell-based immune responses, and they regulate the maturation, growth, and responsiveness of particular cell populations. | |
