Cytokines are signaling molecules, not digestive enzymes, and they help regulate immune responses.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 7: Human Health and Disease Immunity - Innate Immunity - Barriers and Interferons
Cytokines do not directly kill pathogens; they help in communication between immune cells and modulate immune responses.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 7: Human Health and Disease Immunity - Innate Immunity - Barriers and Interferons
Cytokines do not directly attack pathogens; they mediate immune signaling and coordination.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 7: Human Health and Disease Immunity - Innate Immunity - Barriers and Interferons
Cytokines are signaling molecules that regulate immune responses, inflammation, and communication between immune cells.

Enzyme-linked immunospot assay visualizes individual secretory cells through local capture of released cytokines. Plates are coated with high-affinity anti-cytokine capture antibody. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells are incubated briefly, during which activated T cells secrete interferon-gamma or interleukin. Secreted cytokine is immediately captured around each producing cell, forming microscopic immune complex footprint. Subsequent biotinylated detection antibody and enzymatic development create colored spots, each spot representing one cytokine-producing cell. Unlike RIA, Western blot or

IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, is consistent with established principles of cell signaling, receptor pharmacology and cellular regulation. Experimental measurements of binding parameters, genetic loss-of-function studies and pharmacological interventions all converge on the same interpretation. Related options address neighboring concepts but do not satisfy the precise criterion stated in the question.
