Descriptions：Interleukin-38 (IL-38) is a member of the interleukin-1 cytokine family. IL-38 is a ligand for soluble IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI). IL-38 could block the IL-36 pathway by inhibiting the IL-36 cytokine binding to their receptor. This process shows that IL-38 has anti-inflammatory properties. IL-38 is expressed in the immune organs, specifically in the skin and the tonsil, indispensable for B cell proliferation.

Descriptions：C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 4 (CCL4) is a 7.66 kDa cytokine with 69 amino acid residues. CCL4, also named macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β), is mainly secreted from neutrophils, monocytes, B cells, T cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. In addition, CCL4 participates in immune responses, including recruitment of immune cells like lymphocytes, monocytes, and leukocytes, response to IL-1 and IFNγ, and production of TNF when CCL4 binds to CCR5.

Descriptions：Interleukin 19 (IL-19) predicts a molecular mass of 35.8 kDa, is a type of anti-inflammatory cytokine. It promotes the Th2 T-cell response which supports an anti-inflammatory lymphocyte phenotype, dampens the Th1 T-cell response and IFNγ secretion, increases IL-10 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and inhibits the production of IgG from B cells.

Descriptions：Interleukin 17B (IL-17B) predicts a molecular mass of 20.4 kDa, is expressed in several peripheral tissues and immune tissues. In contrast to the high level of IL-6 secretion stimulated by IL-17A, IL-17B failed to induce IL-6 secretion in fibroblasts; however, it significantly enhanced the TNF-α-induced production of G-CSF and IL-6 in the fibroblasts.

Descriptions：Interleukin 16(IL-16) predicts a molecular mass of 13.5 kDa, encoded by this gene is a pleiotropic cytokine that functions as a chemoattractant, a modulator of T cell activation, and an inhibitor of HIV replication, and signaling process of this cytokine is mediated by CD4.

Descriptions：Galectin-8 (Gal-8) is a lectin family member and is one of the tandem repeat-type galectins containing two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) connected by a linker region in a single peptide chain. The CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding, and the binding partners for galectin-8 have been identified, including CD44 and a subset of integrins. Galectin-8 and integrins form complexes, subsequently leading to phosphorylation of paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which activates signal pathways including MAPK-ERK and PI3K-AKT pathways. Galectin-8 is constitutively presented in the Liver, kidney, cardiac muscle, lung, and brain. Galectin-8 serves as an immunosuppressive protective role against autoimmune CNS inflammation, regulating the balance of Th17 and Th1 polarization.

Descriptions：Human CD40L (CD154) is one member of TNF family which is expressed on T cells. It binds the CD40, which is on the antigen-presenting cells (ex: B cells, macrophages and monocytes) Human CD40L is a 21.6 kDa cytokine with 103 amino acid residues which is a transmembrane glycoprotein. Human CD40L plays an important role in the adaptive immune system which induces the B cell maturation and activation.
