title: The cytokines: a review of interleukins.
abstract: Over the past decade much has been elucidated concerning the cellular and molecular basis for health and disease. This increase in information has created a large gap in knowledge between the research scientist and the clinician. The following review attempts to bridge this gap by describing each of the thirteen interleukins and relating their functions to the clinical presentation of periodontal disease.
