Analysis of Interleukin 12 - California State University
... Interleukin 12, aka IL 12 is only one of many Interleukins present in the body. It is a more recent IL to be studied, therefore there is less information known on the protein. The newer information however could help us better understand ourselves and to find treatment for some genetic diseases. ...

Lymphopoiesis
Lymphopoiesis (lĭm'fō-poi-ē'sĭs) (or lymphocytopoiesis) is the generation of lymphocytes, one of the five types of white blood cell (WBC). It is more formally known as lymphoid hematopoiesis.Pathosis in lymphopoiesis leads to any of various lymphoproliferative disorders, such as the lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias.
