    Loss-of-function mutations of IL-1Ra can develop fatal systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Another example is the inability of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10, to signal through its receptor. That, again, can lead to systemic inflammation and severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This shows that even single-cytokine ...
