Cytokines are small proteins that play a major role in the communication between cells throughout the body. They are generally secreted immediately after their production and exert their action after binding to specific membrane-bound receptors on the same cell, neighbouring cell or after transport by the lymphatic system or blood to a distant site. Cytokines have been grouped into different families including the interleukins, the interferons, the colony stimulating factors, the chemokines and the growth factors. The actions of cytokines are numerous and involve almost every biological process ranging from the induction of differentiation, activation, or proliferation of target cells.Keywords: Eye, Cytokines, InterleukinsTurkiye Klinikleri J Ophthalmol 2000, 9:53-58
