  Interleukin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interleukins are a group of cytokines that were first seen to be expressed by white blood cells (leukocytes, hence the -leukin) as a means of communication (inter-).
The name is sort of a relic though; it has since been found that interleukins are produced by a wide variety of bodily cells.
The function of the immune system depends in a large part on interleukins, and rare deficiencies of a number of them have been described, all featuring autoimmune diseases or immune deficiency.
