▪ Abstract The Class 2 α-helical cytokines consist of interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-19, IL-20, IL-22,
IL-24 (Mda-7), and IL-26, interferons (IFN-α,-β,-ε,-κ,-ω,-δ,-τ, and-γ) and interferon-like
molecules (limitin, IL-28A, IL-28B, and IL-29). The interaction of these cytokines with their
specific receptor molecules initiates a broad and varied array of signals that induce cellular
antiviral states, modulate inflammatory responses, inhibit or stimulate cell growth, produce or
inhibit apoptosis, and affect many immune mechanisms. The information derived from crystal …
