Illustration of the variety of different multimeric assemblies of horizontal cytokine-receptors on ligand binding and activation. hGH = human growth hormone. EP0 = erythropoetin. GCSF = Granulocyte Colony-stimulating factor. FGF = Fibroblast growth factor. IL-4 = Interleukin 4. TNF = Tumour necrosis factor.
