Immunol Today. 1992 Jun;13(6):198-200. doi: 10.1016/0167-5699(92)90153-X.

Abstract

An enormous amount of information on interleukin 10 (IL-10) has been gathered since its original description as cytokine synthesis inhibition factor (CSIF) several years ago. In this short article, Maureen Howard and Anne O'Garra summarize what is currently known of the biological properties of IL-10 and speculate on its clinical potential.
