The Structure and Function of Interleukin-4 provides a detailed summary of the pleiotrophic effects of IL-4. In Section I, the structure of the IL-4 gene, IL-4R gene, and IL-4 protein are described. In Section II, in vitro effects of IL-4 are reviewed and focus is on particular cell lineage, as well as the role of IL-4 in hemopoiesis. Section III features chapters that discuss the effects of IL-4 in vivo, highlighting the dramatic ability of IL-4 to induce the switch of B cells to produce IgE. The Structure and Function of Interleukin-4 is an important book for immunologists, cell biologists, and pharmacologists who need a succinct description of the role of IL-4 in the development of different cell types and in cell-cell communication in the immune system.
