Cytokine Proteins

Cytokines mainly include interleukin, chemokines, interferon, etc. They play an important role in regulating cell growth, differentiation and activation, and participate in innate and adaptive immune responses. Under certain conditions, cytokines can also participate in the occurrence of various diseases, and even cause cytokine storm and cytokine storm syndrome, and lead to multiple organ damage, functional failure and death.

  • Detection And Quality Control Of Host Proteins

    Host proteins (HCP) form a major part of the process-related impurities in the production of biologics. The amount of residual HCP in a pharmaceutical product is often considered a critical quality attribute (CQA) because of its potential to affect product safety and efficacy.

  • Definition And Structure Of Antibodies

    Antibodies are shaped like the letter 'Y' and their main job is to bind to an invading antigen, but not to kill the antigen - they do not have this function; the binding is to give the antigen a marker to be destroyed. When phagocytes find the marker to destroy, they come forward and swallow the antibody-bound antigen and digest it.

Cytokine Proteins FAQs

  • Q

    What type of protein is cytokines?

    Cytokine (CK) is a kind of small molecule protein with extensive biological activity, which is synthesized and secreted by a variety of tissue cells (mainly immune cells), such as monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, NK cells, and some nonimmune cells (endothelial cells, epidermal cells, fibroblasts, etc.) through stimulation. It is a low molecular weight soluble protein produced by a variety of cells induced by immunogen, mitogen, or other stimulators. It can be divided into interleukin, interferon, tumor necrosis factor superfamily, colony-stimulating factor, chemotactic factor, growth factor, and others.

  • Q

    What do cytokines proteins do?

    Cytokines play a role in the body by paracrine, autocrine, or endocrine methods to form multiple physiological characteristics such as pleiotropy, overlap, antagonism, synergy, and a very complex cytokine regulatory network, and then participate in various important physiological functions of the human body. Its research achievements provide a scientific basis for clinical prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, especially the use of cytokines to treat tumors, infections, hematopoietic dysfunction, autoimmune diseases, etc., which has a very broad application prospect.
