Interleukin 10

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. The Human Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor (CSIF), also known as this, is categorized as a class-2 cytokine, a group of cytokines with the participance of IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24, IL-26 and interferons.
Interleukin 10 is a pleiotropic cytokine, playing an essential role for controling of lymphoid and myeloid cell function. It is becauase of its capabillity to prevent cytokine synthesis and more extra cell functions of macrophages, T-cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Interleukin 10 also improves the surviveability, proliferation, and antibody production of B cells. The rodent IL-10 expresses strong DNA and aminoacid sequence homology to the human IL-10.
