Cytokine function / Function of cytokine. Cytokines are a large group of proteins, peptides or glycoproteins that are secreted by specific cells of immune system. Cytokines are a category of signaling molecules that mediate and regulate immunity, inflammation and hematopoiesis. Cytokines are produced throughout the body by cells of diverse embryological origin.
The âinnate immune responseâ is stimulated when cells are infected with viral, bacterial or fungal pathogens. The influenza virus induces chemokine and cytokine production by infected epithelial cells and monocytes/macrophages.hese chemokines attract immune cells to the site of infection, including macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer (NK) cells, as summarized in Table 5. These in turn produce additional cytokines, chemokines and other antiviral proteins. x I Julkunen, K Melen, M Nyqvist, J Pirhonen, T Sareneva, S Matikainen.
