The Interleukin 10 (IL10) gene is located at chromosome 1q31-32. It encodes for a protein with the same name that acts as a pleiotropic cytokine expressed primarily by monocytes and to a smaller degree by lymphocytes. IL10 down-regulates the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II and costimulatory molecules on macrophages (Eskdale et al. 1997).
