Although [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]] produce a lower amount of cytokines per cell than other immune cell types, they are often the first and most common cell type present at sites of infection. This makes them a physiologically important source of cytokines, such as IL-12.

[[Eosinophils|Eosinophils]] and [[Mast Cells|Mast cells]] also produce a number of cytokines that are important in the immunology of [[Immunity to Parasites|parasites]] and the pathology of allergic reactions.
