Biological activities of interleukin (IL)-21 in human monocytes and macrophages.
We reported that IL-21 did not increase the production of IL-6 and the chemokines MIP-1α and GRO-α in HMDM. Therefore, IL-21 can increase functions other that phagocytosis, but this cytokine does not have a large spectrum of biological activities in monocytes and macrophages.
