I am interested in compiling a list of the species-specificity of
various cytokines. For some, this information is relatively easy
to obtain, such as for IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, GM-CSF or G-CSF. For
others, particularly some of the newer chemokines, it is next to
impossible.
I would be grateful if anybody who is interested in this could send
me the appropriate information, ie whether a given human cytokine
is active across species and on which species it acts. I will of
course post this list on this newsgroup with the appropriate
acknowledgments. Please make sure you include the relevant
reference.
