摘要: Cytokines play a vital role in coordinating immune and inflammatory re sponses. Unlike growth factor receptors with tyrosine kinase, cytokine have no intrin sic kinase activity. Based on their struc ture, are classified into several groups. High affinity recep tors for IL-2, IL-3, IL-5, IL-6, GM-CSF composed of at least two distin ct subunits, C( {3. The subunits primary binding proteins, the {3 required mation high
