immunins

Immunins are a class of biological molecules that play a role in the immune system. Their precise definition and classification can vary depending on the specific research context, but generally, they are involved in regulating immune responses. Some immunins act as signaling molecules, helping to coordinate the activities of different immune cells. Others may be involved in the development or differentiation of immune cells, influencing their function and specificity.

The term "immunin" is not as widely established or standardized as terms like "cytokine" or "antibody." It is often used in specific research areas to describe a molecule with immunomodulatory properties that may not fit neatly into existing categories. Research into immunins aims to understand their mechanisms of action and their potential therapeutic applications. By modulating the immune system, immunins could offer new avenues for treating autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, or enhancing the body's defense against infections and cancer. Further research is ongoing to fully characterize the diverse functions of immunins and their interactions within the complex network of the immune system.
