Members of the Il-1 and Il-6 families perform pro- and anti-inflammatory activities, which are summarized on Table 1, as is cell origin. Abbreviations used in the table: CNF: ciliary neurotrophic factor, LIF: leukemia inhibitory factor, OSM: oncostatin M, CT-1: cardiotrophin 1, CLC: cardiotrophin-like protein. Pro-Infl means pro-inflammatory, and Anti-Infl means anti-inflammatory.
