2 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-33 is a recently identified pleiotropic cytokine, which can orchestrate complex innate and adaptive immune responses in immunity and disease. It has been characterized as a cytokine of the IL-1 family and affects a wide range of immune cells by signalling through its receptor ST2L.
