1978 Jrnl. Immunol. 120 1818/1 Macrophages and monocytes as well as these products, i.e. monokines (MK) have been demonstrated to exert a significant regulatory influence on various aspects of immunologic reactivity in animals and man.
1984 M. J. Taussig Processes in Pathol. & Microbiol. (ed. 2) ii. 116 Soluble factors derived from macrophages are called monokines; those from T cells are lymphokines.
2000 Infection & Immunity 68 2069 Resolution of primary infection in mice depends on interleukin-12.., since neutralization of this monokine increases susceptibility to infection.
