Anti-Interleukin-10 (IL-10)

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine mainly produced by macrophages and Th2 cells. IL-10 functions by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines made by macrophages and regulatory T cells including, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-2, and IL-3, IL-4, and GM-CSF. IL-10 is also known to suppress antigen presentation on antigen presenting cells. While human IL-10 can act on murine cells, murine IL-10 cannot act on human cells.
