Major Effects Flashcards
IL-1
Activation phagocytes, co-stimulatiom lymphocytes, increasing adhesion molecules on endothelium, induction fever and sleep, increased prostaglandin production
TNF-alpha
Activation of phagocytes, increasing adhesion molecules on endothelium, mobilisation of fat
IL-6
Co-stimulation of lymphocytes, differentiation of B-lymphocytes, synthesis of acute phase proteins
IL-12
Stimulating Th-1 differentiation, activation NK-cells
IFN-alpha, IFN-beta
Inhibiting viral replication
IFN-gamma
Inducing and enforcing MHC-II expression, increasing IL-2 receptor expression, activation of NK-cells, enforcing Fc-gamma-receptor expression on macrophages, increasing intracellulair killing of bacteria by macrophages, stimulating B-cell differentiation
