Difference between Interleukin 15 and Outline of immunology

Interleukin 15 vs. Outline of immunology

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a cytokine with structural similarity to Interleukin-2 (IL-2). The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to immunology: Immunology is the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms.

Similarities between Interleukin 15 and Outline of immunology

Interleukin 15 and Outline of immunology have 24 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adaptive immune system, CD8, Coeliac disease, Common gamma chain, Cytokine, Dendritic cell, Erythropoietin, Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, IL-2 receptor, Innate immune system, Interferon gamma, Interleukin 2, Interleukin 4, Interleukin 7, Interleukin 9, Interleukin-15 receptor, Macrophage, Mast cell, Monocyte, Natural killer cell, T cell, T-cell receptor, Toll-like receptor, Virus.

Adaptive immune system

The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system or, more rarely, as the specific immune system, is a subsystem of the overall immune system that is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth.

Common gamma chain

The common gamma chain (γc) (or CD132), also known as interleukin-2 receptor subunit gamma or IL-2RG, is a cytokine receptor sub-unit that is common to the receptor complexes for at least six different interleukin receptors: IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and interleukin-21 receptor.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), also known as colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2), is a monomeric glycoprotein secreted by macrophages, T cells, mast cells, natural killer cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts that functions as a cytokine.

IL-2 receptor

The interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) is a heterotrimeric protein expressed on the surface of certain immune cells, such as lymphocytes, that binds and responds to a cytokine called IL-2.

Innate immune system

The innate immune system, also known as the non-specific immune system or in-born immunity system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms involved in the defense of the host from infection by other organisms.
