Cytokines and CD molecules Flashcards
IL-1
Secreted by: Macrophages
Also called osteoclast-activating factor. Causes fever, acute inflammation. Activates endothelium to express adhesion molecules. Induces chemokine secretion to recruit WBCs.
Hot T-bone stEAK: IL-1: fever (hot) IL-2: stimulates T cells IL-3: stimulates bone marrow IL-4: stimulates IgE production IL-5: stimulates IgA production IL-6: stimulates aKute-phase protein production
IL-6
Secreted by: Macrophages
Causes fever and stimulates production of acute-phase proteins
Hot T-bone stEAK: IL-1: fever (hot) IL-2: stimulates T cells IL-3: stimulates bone marrow IL-4: stimulates IgE production IL-5: stimulates IgA production IL-6: stimulates aKute-phase protein production
IL-8
Secreted by: Macrophages
Major chemotactic factor for neutrophils
“Clean up on aisle 8.” Neutrophils are recruited by IL-8 to clear infections
IL-12
Secreted by: Macrophages
Induces differentiation of T cells into Th1 cells. Activates NK cells.
TNF-α
Secreted by: Macrophages
Mediates septic shock. Activates endothelium. Causes WBC recruitment, vascular leak.
Causes cachexia in malignancy.
IL-2
Secreted by: all T cells
Stimulates growth of helper, cytotoxic, and regulatory T cells, and NK cells
Hot T-bone stEAK: IL-1: fever (hot) IL-2: stimulates T cells IL-3: stimulates bone marrow IL-4: stimulates IgE production IL-5: stimulates IgA production IL-6: stimulates aKute-phase protein production
IL-3
Secreted by: all T cells
Supports growth and differentiation of bone marrow stem cells. Functions like GM-CSF
Hot T-bone stEAK: IL-1: fever (hot) IL-2: stimulates T cells IL-3: stimulates bone marrow IL-4: stimulates IgE production IL-5: stimulates IgA production IL-6: stimulates aKute-phase protein production
INF-γ
Secreted by: Th1 cells
Secreted by NK cells and T cells in response to IL-12 from macrophages; stimulates macrophages to kill phagocytosed pathogens. Inhibits differentiation of Th2 cells .
Also activates NK cells to kill virus-infected cells. Increases MHC expression and antigen presentation by all cells
IL-4
Secreted by: Th2 cells Induces differentiation of T cells into Th2 cells. Promotes growth of B cells. Enhances class switching to IgE and IgG
Hot T-bone stEAK: IL-1: fever (hot) IL-2: stimulates T cells IL-3: stimulates bone marrow IL-4: stimulates IgE production IL-5: stimulates IgA production IL-6: stimulates aKute-phase protein production
IL-5
Secreted by: Th2 cells Promotes growth and differentiation of B cells. Enhances class switching to IgA. Stimulates growth and differentiation of eosinophils
IL-10
Secreted by: Th2 cells Attenuates inflammatory response. Decreases expression of MHC class II and Th1 cytokines. Inhibits activated macrophages and dendritic cells. Also secreted by regulatory T cells
TGF-β and IL-10 both atTENuate the immune response
all T cell surface proteins
TCR (binds antigen-MHC complex)
CD3 (associated with TCR for signal transduction)
CD28 (bind B7 on APC)
CXCR4/CCR5 (co-receptor for HIV)
Helper T cell surface proteins
all T cell surface proteins +:
CD4 (co-receptor for MHC-II)
CD40L (CD154) (activation of B cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells; ligand for CD40)
Cytotoxic T cell surface proteins
all T cell surface proteins +:
CD8 (co-receptor for MHC-I)
Regulatory T cell surface proteins
all T cell surface proteins +:
CD4 (co-receptor for MHC-II)
CD25 (Binds IL-2 and promotes responses to low concentrations of IL-2)
