    GlossaryInterleukin-4 (IL-4)

    protein that regulates immune responses and inflammation

    Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a type of protein called a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It helps regulate the balance of immune responses by promoting the growth and differentiation of certain white blood cells, particularly those involved in allergic reactions and asthma. IL-4 is also involved in the regulation of antibody production, making it important for both immune defense and inflammation.
