Abstract
Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive cytokine that inhibits a variety of T cell and monocyte/macrophage cell functions. Discovered as a product of mouse type 2 helper (Th2) T cell lines, IL-10 was initially given the name cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF) because of its ability to inhibit cytokine production by mouse type 1 helper T cell (Thl) lines [1]. Subsequent studies showed IL-10 to be a product of several different cell types and to have multiple biological effects like other cytokines [2-9]. The gene encoding mouse IL-10 (mlL-10) was cloned in 1990 [10] and an homologous gene was cloned from a library of a human CD4+ T cell clone in 1991 [11]. Mouse IL-10 and human IL-10 (hIL-10) are similar in size (18.4 and 18.5 kDa respectively) and exist in solution as homod-imers. There is 81% homology between mIL-10 and hIL-10 at the nucleotide level and approximately 73% homology in their amino acid sequence.
