Indicators
A class of interferon (leukocyte interferon) produced predominantly by B lymphocytes. Located in a cluster on 9p22 there are at least 13 functional genes and 1 pseudogene.
Indicators
Interferon gamma (166 aa, ~19 kDa) is encoded by the human IFNG gene. This protein is involved in antiviral activity, macrophage activation, antiproliferative activity and immunopotentiation.
Indicators
Interleukin-1 beta (269 aa, ~31 kDa) is encoded by the human IL1B gene. This protein is involved in the macrophage-dependent inflammatory response.
Indicators
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.
Indicators
Interleukin-18 (193 aa, ~22 kDa) is encoded by the human IL18 gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of both natural killer cell activity and the production of interferon gamma.
Indicators
Interleukin-2 (153 aa, ~18 kDa) is encoded by the human IL2 gene. This protein is involved in T-cell proliferation, leukocyte stimulation and immune responses.
Indicators
Interleukin-4 (153 aa, ~17 kDa) is encoded by the human IL4 gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of the expression of class II MHC molecules, Fc receptors and cell surface-bound immunoglobulins.
Indicators
Interleukin-5 (134 aa, ~15 kDa) is encoded by the human IL5 gene. This protein plays a role in the growth and differentiation of both B-cells and eosinophils.
Indicators
Interleukin-6 (212 aa, ~24 kDa) is encoded by the human IL6 gene. This protein is involved in signaling affecting a wide variety of cell types including monocytes, lymphocytes, hepatocytes and nerve cells.
Indicators
Interleukin-8 (99 aa, ~11 kDa) is encoded by the human CXCL8 gene. This protein is involved in chemotaxis and neutrophil activation.

Glossary Term
The difference between the 3rd and 1st quartiles is called the interquartile range and it is used as a measure of variability (dispersion).
