Special Issue on Interleukin

Interleukins are a group of cytokines (secreted proteins and signaling molecules) that were first seen to be expressed by white blood cells. The function of the immune system depends in a large part on interleukins, and rare deficiencies of a number of them have been described, all featuring autoimmune diseases or immune deficiency. The majority of interleukins are synthesized by helper CD4 T lymphocytes, as well as through monocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells. They promote the development and differentiation of T, B, and hematopoietic cells. As one of the most important research fields of human life, interleukin is of great attractions to researchers.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring Interleukin. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• White blood cells
• Immune responses regulation
• Transmembrane receptors
• Class switch recombination
• Hematopoiesis regulation

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission, Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Interleukin” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
