Lec 8 - Cytokines Flashcards
one cytokine acts on multiple cells and has multiple functions
pleiotropic
two cytokines have same function
redundant
sum is greater than parts
synergistic
one cytokine blocks function of another
antagonistic
ctyokines are generally not blank
stable
acts on the cell that secreted it
autocrine
acts on a nearby cell
paracrine
enters circulation and acts at distant site
endocrine
cytokiens are just really involved in blank of all different types of immunity and hematopoiesis
regulation
These cytokines are produced by mononuclear phagocytes, stimulate early responses to microbes. These are indicators of an inflammation.
regulate innate immunity
Produced by T cells during specific immune response. Regulate activation and differentiation of cells involved in T-dependent immune responses
regulate adaptive immunity
il2 regulates blank proliferation
t cell
il4 and ifn gamma regulates blank
isotype switching
Produced by bone marrow and thymic stroma, stimulate development of specific lineages of immune cells
regulate hematopoiesis
cytokine receptors are usually blank or blank
dimers, multimers
