Lymphokines and interleukins.
The application of recombinant DNA technology to the investigation of lymphokines has provided homogeneous material for experimentation. The general biochemical and biological properties of these lymphokines are reviewed here. The available information suggests that lymphokines have diverse and synergistic effects on multiple target cells and organs. The biological significance of these effects is discussed.
