title: Small cytokine superfamily.
abstract: Proteins comprising a newly described superfamily of small inducible cytokines (tentatively designated 'scy') exhibit considerable similarity with respect to activity, regulation and genomic structure. Recent observations, however, have identified specific biological activities and contexts in which these cytokines differ and which may allow fine tuning of immune and inflammatory responses.
