Q

TNF-a

A

Activates Endothelium
Causes WBC Recruitment
Causes Vascular leaking
Causes cachexia in malignancy ( influence on hypothalamus that leads to appetite suppression, inhibiting LPL and inc insulin resist in periph tissues)
Maintains Granulomas in TB
Can mediate Sepsis
Causes insulin resistance (by phosphorylating serine and threonine residues of insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate)

Q

IL-2

A

Stimulates growth of helper, cytotoxic, and regulatory T cells
Stimulates growth of NK cells
Also stimulates growth of B cells and activation of NK cells and Monocytes

First IL produced by T cell after antigen contact
(receptor for IL 2 acts via jak stat)

Q

INF-Y

A

Secreted by NK cells and T cells in response to antigen or IL-12 from macrophages
Stimulates macrophages to kill phagocytosed pathogens
Inhibits differentiation of Th2 Cells
Activates NK cells to kill virus infected cells
Increases MHC expression and antigen presentation by all cells (inhances viral and parasitic resistance)
