<td><strong> Interleukin-4 (IL-4)</strong>15-19. B cell-stimulating factor 1 (BSF-1)</td> <td> Mast cells, T cells, bone marrow stromal cells </td> <td> Promotes growth and development of B and T cells, and cells of the monocytic lineage. Also affects cells outside the immune system, including endothelial cells and fibroblasts. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong> Interleukin-5 (IL-5)</strong>45. Eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF), eosinophil colony-stimulating factor (E-CSF)</td> <td> Mast cells, T cells, eosinophils </td> <td> Induces eosinophil formation and differentiation </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong> Interleukin-6 (IL-6)</strong>26. B cell stimulatory factor 2 (BSF-2), hybridoma/plasmacytoma growth factor (HPGF), hepatocyte-stimulating factor (HSF)</td> <td> T cells, B cells, several non-lymphoid cells including macrophages, bone marrow stromal cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and astrocytes</td> <td> Regulate B and T cell functions; in vivo effects on hematopoiesis; inducer of the acute phase response </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong> Interleukin-7 (IL-7)</strong>20-28. Pre-B-cell growth factor, lymphopoietin-1 (LP-1)</td> <td> Bone marrow stromal cells, thymic stromal cells, and spleen cells </td> <td> Growth factor for T and B cell progenitors </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong> Interleukin-8 (IL-8)</strong>6-8. Neutrophil-attractant/activating protein (NAP-1), neutrophil-activating factor (NAF), and granulocyte chemotactic protein (GCAP).</td> <td> Many cell types including monocytes, lymphocytes, granulocytes, and nonimmune system cells such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, and others </td> <td> Chemokine that cunctions primarily as a chemo-attractant and activator of neutrophils; also attracts basophils and some subpopulations of lymphocytes; has angiogenic activity </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong> Interleukin-9 (IL-9)</strong>32-39. P40; T cell growth factor Ⅲ.</td> <td> IL-2 activated T helper cell populations </td> <td> Stimulates proliferation of T lymphocytes and erythroid precursors </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong> Interleukin-10 (IL-10)</strong>35-40. Cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF)</td> <td> Activated subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells </td> <td> Stimulates or enhances proliferation of B cells, thymocytes, and mast cells. In co-operation with TGF-β, stimulates IgA synthesis and secretion by human B cells; antagonizes generation of the Th1 subset of helper T cells</td>
