Cytokines nd Chemokines Flashcards
BAFF
Secreted by myeloid cells in lymphoid follicles and bone marrow
Helps with follicular B cell survival
Co-stimulates switching to IgA
CCL2 (MCP1)
Mixed leukocyte recruitment
CCL5(RANTES)
Mixed leukocyte recruitment
CXCL8(IL-8)
Secreted by endothelial cells
Neutrophil recruitment
CXCL10(IP-10)
Secreted by Macrophages, DC’s and T cells
Effector T cell to tissue
CXCL12 (SDF-1alphabeta)
Homing naive Cells into LN
CXCL13 (BCA-1)
Secreted by Follicular DC’s
Naive B cell migration into follicles of lymph node
T follicular helper cell migration into follicles
CCL19/21
Secreted by DC
Activated B cells will express CCR7 which induces migration to T cell zone
INF-gamma
Secreted by CD4+ T cells
Activates APCsby inducing expression of costimulatory molecules (CD80/86) as well as MHC expression
Stimulates T cell proliferation
Stimulated IgG production and inhibits Th@ response (IgE)
IL-1
Secreted by mast cells and tissue macrophages (remember mast cells are never in circulation)
Induces endothelial cell expression of E-selectin
Can penetrate blood-blain barrier and induce fever
stimulate defensin production
IL-2
Secreted by Th1 cells
T Cell proliferation
IL-4
Secreted by Th2 Cells
Ig production
stimulated Th2 proliferation
IL-5
Secreted by Th2 cells
Activates eosinophils
IL-6
Secreted by Macrophages and endothelial class and T cells
Main target is the liver to induce synthesis of acute phase proteins
Also targets B cells for plasma cell differentiation
stimulates defensin production
IL-7
Secreted by Stromal Cells
T cell progenitor proliferation
Anti-apoptotic proteins for memory T cells
IL-7R is a phenotypic marker of memory T cells
