<tdbgcolor="#cccccc"><strong> Interleukin-4 (IL-4) </strong>15-19. B cell-stimulating factor 1 (BSF-1)</td> <tdbgcolor="#cccccc"> Mast cells, T cells, bone marrow stromal cells </td> <tdbgcolor="#cccccc"> 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>

<tdbgcolor="#cccccc"><strong> Interleukin-8 (IL-8) </strong>6-8. Neutrophil-attractant/activating protein (NAP-1), neutrophil-activating factor (NAF), and granulocyte chemotactic protein (GCAP).</td> <tdbgcolor="#cccccc"> Many cell types including monocytes, lymphocytes, granulocytes, and nonimmune system cells such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, and others </td> <tdbgcolor="#cccccc"> Chemokine that cunctions primarily as a chemo-attractant and activator of neutrophils; also attracts basophils and some subpopulations of lymphocytes; has angiogenic activity </td>

<tdbgcolor="#cccccc"><strong> Interleukin-10 (IL-10) </strong>35-40. Cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF)</td> <tdbgcolor="#cccccc"> Activated subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells </td> <tdbgcolor="#cccccc"> 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>
