Interleukins have a pivotal role in the mediation of the physiological response to infection, immune response and contribute significantly to the functional changes that accompany a particular disease or a wide range of disorders. They are a group of naturally occurring proteins that mediate communication between cells and therefore have great potential as therapeutic targets. 

Several interleukins have already become successful treatment targets and many more are in early development or in different stages of clinical trials. These therapies are an increasingly important class of drugs in the treatment and management of many diseases and the main message is that interleukin therapeutics is a rapidly growing field with major pharmaceutical impact.
