Cytokines Flashcards
Interleukin - 1 (IL-1)
Secreted By Macrophages
Local: Inflammation Induction
Systemic: Fever, Acute Phase Response.
Endothelium expression of Adhesion molecules.
Induces Chemokine secretion for WBCs recruitment.
Interleukin - 2 (IL-2)
Secreted By T-cells
Proliferation of T cells (Autocrine) and NK cells.
Interleukin - 3 (IL-3)
Secreted By T-cells
Growth Factor: Stimulation of all Leukocytes colony types but Lymphocytes. Like GM-CSF
Interleukin - 6 (IL-6)
Secreted By Macrophages
Causes Fever and Stimulation of Acute Phase Proteins.
Interleukin - 8 (IL-8)
Secreted By Macrophages
“Clean up on aisle 8”
Major Chemokine for Neutrophills ( Basophils and Lymphocytes).
“Clean up on aisle 8” - IL8 for Neutrophills cleaning up infection.
Interleukin - 12 (IL-12)
Secreted By Macrophages
Induces CD4+ T Helper cells to differentiate into TH1.
Activates NK cells.
Tumor Necrosis Factor - TNF-alpha
Secreted By Macrophages
Fever. Activates Endothelium. Causes WBC recruitment, Vascular Leak
Tumor Necrosis Factor - TNF-alpha
Abnormal Pathologic actions (2)
Secreted By Macrophages
In Malignancy - Cachexia
In TB - Maintains Granulomas
Common for IL1, IL6 and TNF-Alpha
Secreted By Macrophages
Mediation of Fever and Sepsis
“Acute Cytokines”
Common for IL8, IL12
Secreted By Macrophages
Cause Recruitment of further WBCs in inflammation for Infection clearance.
Interferon-Gamma
Secreted by? When?
NK cells and TH1 cells in response to Antigen or IL-12 from Macrophages.
