Interleukins
The name (IL) followed by a number (for example IL-l or IL-2) was coined in an attempt to develop a standardized nomenclature for molecules secreted by, and acting on, leukocytes.
IL-1: It is an acute phase reactant synthesized by macrophages contributing to the acute inflammatory response, including fever, leukocyte recruitment, adhesion molecule activation, and stimulation of further chemokine production.
Mnemonic: One makes you burn like the sun.
We are writing a book, Immunowesome and it will be available for download soon! Stay tuned :D
