Abstract

Cytokines play a vital role in coordinating immune and inflammatory responses. As many cytokine gene hunters have begun to focus their efforts on receptors, novel aspects of hemopoietic growth factor receptors have emerged. Two types of growth factor receptors have been classified--the cytokine receptor family and growth factor receptor family with tyrosine kinase activity. The two types of receptors may have unique roles in 'inducible' and 'constitutive' hemopoiesis which are controlled by immunological stimuli and by interaction with stromal cells, respectively.
