Cytokine

Cytokines are polypeptides synthesized and released mainly by immune cells. They serve a number of functions such as regulating cell growth and differentiation, immune response, inflammatory reactions and the progression and suppression of tumors. Cytokines can be broadly used in cancer treatment, infections, autoimmune diseases and other illnesses. Leto Laboratories has been focusing on cytokines research for many years, and is among the minority of enterprises making such efforts in China.
