Cytokines Flashcards
IL1 is made by
monocytes, macrophages, B cells, dendritic cells and endothelial cells
The target tissues for IL1 are
Th cells
Hepatocytes
Hypothalamus
The function if IL1 is
costimulatory, acute phase induction, fever production
IL2 is made by
Th1 cells
The target tissue of IL2 is
activated Th cells and cytotoxic lymphocytes
The function if IL2 is
proliferation and enhanced killing
IL3 is made by
The helper cells
The target tissue for IL3 is
hematopoietic cells
the function of IL3 is
growth factor
IL4 is made by
Th2 cells
IL4 target tissue is
B cells
IL4 function
activation class switching to IgE and IgG
IL5 is made by
Th2 cells
IL5 target tissue is
B cells
Activity of IL5 is
class switching to IgA
IL6 is activated by
macrophages and Th2 Cells
The target tissue for IL6 is
B cells hepatocytes, and hypothalamus
The activity of IL6 is
differentiation in to plasma cells and Ab production
acute phase protein induction
fever production
IL7 is secreted by
bone marrow, thymic stromal cells
target tissue for IL7 is
B and T cell precursors
Function if IL7
