Abstract
The discovery of the cytokine IL-21 adds another member to the ever-growing list of small secreted molecules that have potent effects on lymphoid cell s. Initial characterization of the IL-21 receptor complex suggests that IL- 21 may belong to the cytokine family whose receptors share the common gamma chain, gamma (c). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
