Interleukins mediate the inflammatory response, induce fever, stimulate cytokine and endocrine secretion, and promote other aspects of immune response. Kinins are inactive plasma proteins that are part of a cascade producing the end-product bradykinin. Bradykinin promotes inflammation and causes pain. Complement proteins are part of a cascade producing a membrane attack complex that can lyse pathogens. Complement proteins stimulate other aspects of the immune response as well.
