Final answer:

Interferons and interleukins are cytokines that can activate the JAK-STAT pathway.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the cytokines that can activate the JAK-STAT pathway include interferons and interleukins. Interferons are released by infected cells to signal a viral infection to other cells and stimulate the production of compounds that interfere with viral replication.

Interleukins are signaling molecules that mediate interactions between leukocytes and play a role in bridging the innate and adaptive immune responses.
