The paper describes the properties of interleukin-18 (IL-18), the cytokine originally designated as interferon-gamma inducing factor (IGIF): its production, structure and receptor (IL-18R) transmitting a signal to the cell. Moreover, it presents recent data on its biological activity.
This article reviews of recent data on the structure of IL-12 and the function of its receptor (IL-12R). It presents a new opinion on the role of its subunits in the cytokine activity and on the signal transmission via IL-12R in the process of cell activation by IL-12.
