Interleukin-32 in Infection, Inflammation and Cancer Biology

Open Access
|Jun 2020

Abstract

Cytokines are small pleiotropic polypeptids secreted dominantly by the cells of the immune system. These polypeptids are main mediators of innate and acquired immunity, responsible for clonal expansion and differentiation of immune cells, initiation of immune response and enhancing of effector functions of leukocytes. Cytokine-related effects are most studied in the fields of inflammation, immunology, and cancer biology. In this review we discuss one of the most intriguing, recently discovered proinflammatory cytokine, interleukin 32.
