Which cytokines show cross-species activity? 

With a few exceptions, most human cytokines are active on mouse cells. Many mouse cytokines are active on human cells, but may show lower specific activity than the corresponding human cytokine. The interferons, GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-4 are known to be species-specific with very little, if any, activity on non-homologous cells. In contrast, the FGFs and neurotrophins are very highly conserved and show excellent activity on cells of other animal species.
