Q

IL-12

Q

Interferon gamma

A

Secreted by Th1 cells also by NK cells
in response to IL-12 stimulation from macrophages
stimulates macrophages to kill phagocytosed pathogens
so its like a check and balance

mac eats pathogen - secretes IL-12
IL-12 activated T cells secretes Interferon gamma telling macrophage to destroy

Also interferon gamms activates NK cells to kill-virus infected cells.
Increases MHC expression and antigen presentation by all cells
