Explanation of Solution

Cytokines are the regulatory protein that have low molecular weight. This protein is produced by cells of both innate and adaptive immune systems that show an interaction and effector responses by a cell to cell. The mode of action of cytokines can be local and systemic. Some cytokines are mediated inflammation, and some interfere with viral replication. Chemokines are the type of cytokines that encourage the migration and activation of inflammatory and immune cells. Some other cytokines, such as colony-stimulating factors, trigger the immune cells for the growth and differentiation of bone marrow progenitors.
