Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interleukins are a group of cytokines (secreted proteins and signal molecules) that were first seen to be expressed by white blood cells (leukocytes) and are crucial in mediating communication between cells, especially in stimulating immune responses. They play a significant role in cell signaling and can affect the behavior of other cells, hence acting as "messengers between leukocytes."
