Cytokines of Adaptive Immunity Flashcards
TGF-beta - fxns
essentially counteracts all other cytokines discussed
inhibits proliferation of lymphocytes and leukocytes
stimulates B cell class switching to IgA
stimulates healing (fibroblasts and macrophages, angiogenesis)
principle macrophage activator (classical macrophage activation)
promotes TH1 differentiation (inhibits TH2)
promotes B cell class switching to IgG
inhibits IgE
stimulates antigen processing in APCs
promotes extravasation
IFN-gamma - fxns
Ag-stimulated T cells, LPS-activated macrophages and Tregs
inflammatory stimuli
TGF-beta is produced by _____ in response to _____
IL-4 is produced by _____ in response to _____?
TH2 cells and mast cells
??? origin, but IL-4 from above cells later (positive feedback)
CD4+ T helper cells (TH2)
basophils and eosinophils
also TH1 cells and NK cells in early phase of allergic response
mast cell/eosinophil degranulation
IL-13 is produced by _____ in response to _____
stimulates differentiation of CD4+ T cells into TH2 cells (inhibits differentiation of TH1 cells)
stimulates B cell class switching to IgE
mast cell/eosinophil mediated rxns
induces arginase expression in macrophages -> collagen production and fibrosis
IL-4 - fxns
IL-2 - fxns
mediates growth, survival and differentiation of T cells required for survival of Tregs (constitutive receptor expression)
stimulates NK cell differentiation
stimulates growth and Ab production in B cells
shared effects w/ IL-4
promotes fibrosis (alternative macrophage activation)
induces TGF-beta -> promotes fibrosis
contributes to pathology of chronic asthma
induces mucus production
induces B cell class switching to IgE
induces inflammation -> expression of VCAM-1 on endothelial cells
IL-13 - fxns
IL-13 is produced by _____ in response to _____
CD4+ T helper cells (TH2)
basophils and eosinophils
also TH1 cells and NK cells in early phase of allergic response
mast cell/eosinophil degranulation
mediates growth, survival and differentiation of T cells required for survival of Tregs (constitutive receptor expression) stimulates NK cell differentiation stimulates growth and antibody production in B cells
IL-2 - fxns
diagram cytokine interaxns btw cells of adaptive immunity
TH2 cells and mast cells
???
IL-4 is produced by _____ in response to _____?
stimulates growth and differentiation of activated eosinophils
stimulates B cells to class switch to IgA (helminths are often located in GI tract in early stage of infxn)
IL-5 - fxns
CD4+ T cells
Ags and costimulators
IL-2 is produced by _____ in response to _____?
IL-4 - fxns
stimulates differentiation of CD4+ T cells into TH2 cells (inhibits differentiation of TH1 cells)
stimulates B cell class switching to IgE
mast cell/eosinophil mediated rxns
induces arginase expression in macrophages -> collagen production and fibrosis
upregulates expression of HLA-II
