CYTOKINES Flashcards
Lymphocyte co-stimulation, phagocyte activation,
increase endothelial adhesion molecules
Macrophage, fibroblast, lymphocytes
IL-1a
Lymphocytes, macrophage, endothelium
Induces fever and sleep; increased in prostaglandin synthesis
T-cells
IL-1β
T-cell growth and activation, NK cell activation, co-stimulates B-cell differentiation
T-cells
IL-2
T-cells, B-cells, NK cells
Multi-lineage hematopoietic factor
T-cells, thymic epithelium
IL-3
Stem cells
Co-stimulates B-cell differentiation, stimulates MHC class II expression on B-cell and macrophage, promotes class switch, enhances IgG1 and IgE production
Th2 cells, bone marrow stroma
IL-4
B-cells
Stimulates in vitro antibody responses, enhances IgA production by stimulated B-cells, stimulates eosinophil differentiation
Th2 cells
IL-5
Eosinophils, B-cells
Lymphocyte growth, B-cell differentiation, acute phase protein synthesis
Macrophage, endothelium, Th2 cells
IL-6
T-cells, B-cells, hepatocytes
Cell activation
Bone marrow stromal cells
IL-7
Pre-B cells, pre-T cells
Stimulates chemotaxis of target cells and stimulates
granulocyte activity
Fibroblasts monocytes, endothelium
IL-8
Monocytes, T-cells, neutrophils
Cell division, promotes development
CD4+ T-cells
IL-9
T-cells, mast cells
Inhibits cytokine synthesis
Th2 cells
IL-10
Th1 cells
Cell division, cell proliferation, and stimulates maturation
of hematopoietic cells
Bone marrow stroma
IL-11
Stem cells, plasma cells
Th1 cell development, activation, induces IFN-gamma production from target cells, augments cytotoxic activity of NK cells
B-cells, macrophage
IL-12
Th1 cells, NK cells
Division and differentiation, blocks inhibitory monokine
production
Th2 cells
IL-13
B-cells, macrophages
Cell proliferation, decreased immunoglobin synthesis
T-cells
IL-14
B-cells
