Interleukin-18 is a secreted protein and it belongs to the IL-1 family. IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine and produced by macrophages and other cells. This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL-4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production; and enhance IgG2a production of B cells. IL-18 binding protein (IL18BP) can specifically interact with this cytokine; and thus negatively regulate its biological activity. After stimulation with IL-18; natural killer (NK) cells and certain T cells release another important cytokine called interferon-γ (IFN-γ) or type II interferon that plays an important role in activating the macrophages or other cells.

Interleukin-2(IL-2) is an interleukin; a type of cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system;belongs to the IL-2 family. It is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions that are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells; NK cells; lymphokine-activated killer cells; monocytes; macrophages and oligodendrocytes.

Mesothelin is a cell surface glycoprotein whose expression is limited to mesothelial cells of the serosa (pleura; pericardium; and peritoneum) and epithelial cells of the trachea; tonsils; fallopian tube; and kidneys. Mesothelin plays an important role in cell survival; proliferation; migration; invasion; tumor progression; and resistance to chemotherapy. The overexpression of mesothelin can activate NF-κB and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3); inhibit apoptotic signaling and TNF-α-induced apoptosis; and accelerate the G1–S transition. Mesothelin is also found overexpressed in various cancers; including malignant mesothelioma; pancreatic or ovarian carcinoma; sarcomas and in some gastrointestinal or pulmonary carcinomas. As a result of its limited expression in normal tissues; mesothelin has been reported as an ideal tumor-associated marker for the development of targeted therapy.

Parathyroid hormone is the most important endocrine regulator of calcium and phosphorus concentration in extracellular fluid. This hormone is secreted from cells of the parathyroid glands and finds its major target cells in bone and kidney. Another hormone; parathyroid hormone-related protein; binds to the same receptor as parathyroid hormone and has major effects on development. Like most other protein hormones; parathyroid hormone is synthesized as a preprohormone. After intracellular processing; the mature hormone is packaged within the Golgi into secretory vesicles; the secreted into blood by exocytosis. Parathyroid hormone is secreted as a linear protein of 84 amino acids.

Proteoglycan 3, also known as Eosinophil major basic protein homolog, Prepro-major basic protein homolog, PRG3 and MBPH, contains one C-type lectin domain. Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix. PRG3 localizes to the eosinophil secondary granule and is expressed in bone marrow, not detected in placenta. PRG3 has similar cytotoxic and cytostimulatory activities to PRG2/MBP. In vitro, PRG3 can stimulate neutrophil superoxide production and IL8 release, histamine and leukotriene C4 release from basophils.

CD320 antigen is also known as 8D6 antigen,FDC-signaling molecule 8D6,Transcobalamin receptor and 8D6A. It is a single-pass type I membrane protein and containing two LDL-receptor class A domains. CD320 has been recently discovered and reported as a follicular dendritic cell (FDC) protein. CD320 can augments the proliferation of plasma cells precursors generated by IL-10. CD320 also founctions a receptor for the cellular uptake of transcobalamin bound cobalamin. Defects in CD320 are the cause of methylmalonic aciduria type TCblR (MMATC) which is a metabolic disorder.

Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. They allow for communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that eradicate pathogens or tumors. They are typically divided among three IFN classes: Type I, Type II and Type III. IFNA4 is a secreted protein and produced by macrophages. Two variants of IFNA4 (IFNA4a and IFNA4b) are known, which differ from each other by changes in their coding regions at nucleotide positions 220 and 410 .

Serpin B3, also known as squamous cell carcinoma antigen-1 (SCCA-1), is a member of the serpin superfamily of serine protease inhibitors. Serpin B3 belongs to the subgroup ovalbumin-related serpins which are involved in the regulation of apoptosis, inflammation, angiogenesis and embryogenesis. It may act as a papain-like cysteine protease inhibitor to modulate the host immune response against tumor cells. It also functions as an inhibitor of UV-induced apoptosis via suppression of the activity of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK1).
