Question

Interleukin which is recently discovered, is a cure for
A. Arthritis
B. Diabetes
C. Cancer
D. Influenza

Answer 1

A pharmaceutical drug is a chemical substance that produces a biological effect when administered to a living organism. These are used in the treatment, prevention, diagnosis, or cure of a disease or ailment and can also be utilized to promote well-being. These drugs are obtained or extracted from plant sources and animal sources and through organic synthesis.

Step by step answer: Interleukins are naturally occurring proteins that regulate cell growth, stimulate the immune response, regulate inflammation, motility and part take in stimulating the synthesis of platelets and white blood cells. Most interleukins are synthesized in T cells and white blood cells with the assistance of CD4 T lymphocytes. These are also synthesized by endothelial cells, macrophages, and monocytes.
-Interleukins are secreted due to a stimulus-response such as an infectious agent, and travel to the target cells and bind to the cell's surface with the help of a receptor molecule. Interleukins are of fifteen types and are numerically named, i.e. IL-1 to IL-15. Interleukin-2 stimulates differentiation and growth of T cell response.
-They have been discovered to be utilized in Immunotherapy in the treatment of cancer. They have also been employed in clinical trials of HIV positive patients to raise their CD4 counts. Based on this information, it can be determined to fight against some types of cancer cells.
-When cells divide without control and spread into surrounding tissues they cause a disease called cancer. This is also caused due to the manipulation of the genetic material. There are many factors that could cause cancerous cells such as exposure to radiation, questionable lifestyle such as smoking and drinking alcohol, etc.
-Certain cancers can be prevented by preventing smoking, by stopping consuming alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight and diet such as exercising, consuming fruits and vegetables, and avoiding processed food and processed red meat.
Therefore, the correct answer is option is C, i.e., Cancer

Note: It was during the 1970s that interleukins were first identified. It was believed to have been chiefly produced by leukocytes. Leukocytes are also known as white blood cells. They were believed to act upon other white blood cells and therefore due to this reason they were termed interleukins meaning “between leukocytes”.
