| ALT_DEFINITION |
One of a group of related proteins made by leukocytes (white blood cells) and other cells in the body. IL-10 is made by activated macrophages and by some T lymphocytes. It reduces inflammation by blocking production of cytokines by immune cells. IL-10 also increases antibody production by plasma cells and helps them live longer. IL-10 made in the laboratory is used as a biological response modifier to boost the immune system. It is a type of cytokine. |

| DEFINITION |
Interleukin-10 (178 aa, ~21 kDa) is encoded by the human IL10 gene. This protein plays a role in the negative regulation of cytokine expression. |
| DesignNote |
Interleukin-10 down-regulates expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II antigens, and costimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. This cytokine can block NF-kappa B activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. |
