Interleukin-7 (IL-7) was originally described as a factor capable of inducing in vitro proliferation of pre-B cells from marrow cultures. The IL-7 gene...
Two forms of interleukin-1, designated IL-1(alpha) and IL-1(beta), have been described. Although encoded by distinct genes and exhibiting roughly only 25%...
The insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins, or IGFBPs, are a family of homologous proteins that have co-evolved with the IGFs. They serve not only as...
