title: CytokineDB: a database collecting biological information.
abstract: Cytokines are subdivided in 12 sub-families and are described as multi-functional molecules that play an important biological activity in host defense system against pathogens, in homeostasis, tissue repair, cell growth and development. CytokineDB is an annotated database that collects biological information regarding the cytokines family in human and will be periodically updated by including new biological information. This database is freely available online and can be accessed at the URL: http://www.cro-m.eu/CytokineDB/
