What Is Mouse Cytokine?
A mouse cytokine is a protein secreted by the immune system of a mouse. Cytokines are used for cell signaling, to carry information between cells for the purpose of regulating immune responses and other activities. When cells are injured, diseased, or otherwise compromised, cytokines are involved in the immune response. These proteins are found in other animals, such as humans, and a number of different cytokines have been identified, including broad classes of cytokines such as the lymphokines, interferons, and interleukins.
