Welcome to the Cytokines Web
You're currently at the main entry point to the site
For optimal performance, please allow the navigation buttons to load before proceeding
The Cytokines Web provides leading-edge scientific information about cytokines and their receptors, including 3-D structural information and topological and evolutionary relationships. It also contains information about potential theraputic uses for some Human cytokines.  

Help with using the site is available wherever you see the Help button. Reading the help only takes a minute, and it will help you get the most out of the site. 

Thank you for visiting! Don't forget to book mark and link to us... and then please select one of the entry points into the Web by choosing from the links below (or if you don't know where to start, use the forward button on the navigation bars above and below).

 In addition to updates of previously available sections, new CytWeb areas for 1997 are.  
  • Journal Watch - Up-to-date surveys of the literature at the click of a mouse button
  • Hot Targets - recently discovered human cytokines that are targets for structure determination
  • Clinical Significance - potential uses of Human cytokines in diagnosis and treatment of disease
  • Conference Announcements - check out upcoming events and conferences in a Calendar format (update 4 July)
  • Commercial Links - products and services of potential interest to Cytokines Web users (update 4 April).

    CYTOKINES CYTOKINE RECEPTORS CYTOKINE -  
    CYTOKINE RECEPTOR RECOGNITION
    Known 3-D structures Evolutionary/Topological relationships, 3-D images, Journal Watch available from this page (including receptor refs), PDB info Known 3-D structures 
    Evolutionary/Topological relationships, 3-D images, PDB info. For Journal Watch, please see info in Cytokines Area    		 Known 3-D structures
    Broad Classification 
    based on known and predicted folds    		 Molecular Classification 
    These often multi-domain proteins are here classified according to their modular composition     		 Binding sites 
    Characterised by atomic-level structural analysis
    Hot Targets 
    Currently important structural targets for elucidation by X-ray and/or NMR techniques. Protein sizes, and homologies are detailed    		 Nomenclature 
    molecules named according to widely used conventions (standard names, and CD-antigen-based)
    Clinical Significance 
    Potential roles of recently dicovered Human cytokines in diagnosis and treatment of disease

    NAOMI If you work with 3-D protein structures, and you have access to a Silicon Graphics Workstation, you need NAOMI. It is currently licensed for use on over 2000 SGIs throughout North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, and is used extensively in maintaining and developing the content of the Cytokines Web.
