INTERLEUKIN 15 AND ITS ROLE IN IMMUNE INFLAMMATION

Abstract

Since the cloning of interleukin-15, a number of clinical studies on molecular structure of this cytokine has been done. An important feature of interleukin-15 is its structural and functional similarity with interleukin-2, but the specificity of interleukin-15 is provided with its own unique receptor α-chain. The review presents recent data on the molecular structure, mechanism of action and biological effects of interleukin-15, the role of this cytokine in the development of the disease and its potential clinical significance as a therapeutic agent.
