cytokines Flashcards
cytokines secreted by macrophages
IL- 1, 6, 8, 12, TNFa
activity of IL-1 (2)
induces fever
activates endothelium to express adhesion molecules
activity of IL-6 (2)
causes fever
stimulates production of acute phase reactants
activity of IL-8 (1)
neutrophil chemotaxis
activity of IL-12 (2)
induces Th cells to be Th1 cells
activates NK cells
activity of TNFa (3)
mediates septic shock, activates endothelium, vascular leakage
secreted by all T cells (2)
IL-2, 3
activity of IL-3
functions of GM-CSF= promotes growth and differentiation of bone marrow stem cells
secreted by Th1 cells (2)
IFNg and IL-2
activity of IFNg (3)
activates macrophages
increased Th1 response
suppresses Th2 response
From Th2 cells (3)
Il-4, 5, 10
antiviral activity of interferons
place uninfected cells in an antiviral state by producing a ribonuclease that inhibits viral protein synthesis
CD14
marker on macrophages that binds LPS
