Detailed explanation-1: -IL-2 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by activated CD4 + and CD8 + T-cells that plays a pivotal role in regulatory T-cells (Treg cells) biology and immune response homeostasis [72]. IL-2 was characterized as a powerful T-cell growth factor, promoting the expansion of CD4 + and CD8 + T activated antigen.
Detailed explanation-2: -IL-12 can aid in the activation and regulation of several cytotoxic immune cells including macrophages, natural killer cells, and T cells, thus making it a ‘pro-inflammatory cytokine’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces the production of interferon- (IFN-), favours the differentiation of T helper 1 (TH1) cells and forms a link between innate resistance and adaptive immunity.
