title: [Cytokines, their receptors and inhibitors. Importance in laboratory diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: The present paper reviews the literature on biological activities of human cytokines in homeostasis, as modulated by their secretion, expression of membrane-bound and soluble receptors as well as by means of other cytokines and specific inhibitors, respectively. The role of structure and properties of interleukins 1, 2, 6 and their receptors in pathophysiology and laboratory diagnostics of rheumatoid arthritis, is discussed. Methods of quantitative determination of cytokines are described.
