Interferons And Interleukins: From Bench To Bedside

Interferons (IFs) and interleukins (ILs) are immune system biochemicals at the intersection of basic research and medical technology. Part of the class of secreted cellular regulators known as cytokines, IFs and ILs have experienced dizzying public relations ups and downs, hailed one season as tomorrow's wonder drugs, derided the next as toxic side effects emerge during therapy. type_Document_Title_here With many questions about the basic biology of these enigmatic immunochemicals stil
