Book Synopsis Interleukin-6-type Cytokines by : Andrzej Mackiewicz
Book excerpt: This volume discusses the role of interleukin-6-type cytokines in haematopoietic cell proliferation, neuronal differentiation and acute phase response to inflammation. New data is presented concerning the structure and function of interleukin-6, the leukemia inhibitory factor, interleukin-11, oncostatin M and the ciliary neurotrophic factor. Also discussed is cytokine receptor function, common signal transduction mechanisms, the molecular basis of cytokine-mediated alterations in gene expression, and regulation of cell proliferation. Pre-clinical and clinical studies with these cytokines are evaluated.
