-
IL-1
- Produced by activated macrophages, neutrophils and epithelium
- Pyrogenic
- Targets other immune cells for proliferation, production
- TNF-a release
- IL-2 production
-
IL-2
- TCR induction increases IL-2 and IL-2R production --> autocrine
- Activate T cells
- Induces IFN-g, IL-2, IL-6, IL-4, IL-5
-
IL-3
- Source: Th cells, NK cells
- Growth and differentiation of myeloid cells
-
IL-4
- Source: TH2 cells
- B cell activation, differentiation, class switching to IgG1 and IgE
- Inhibits development of TH1
-
IL-5
- Source: TH2 cells
- proliferation, differentiation, class switch to IgA
-
IL-6
- Source: monocytes, macrophages, TH2 cells
- Endogenous pyrogen
- Promotes plasma cell formation
- Induces acute phase response
-
IL-7
- Source: primary lymph organs
- Stimulates B and T lymphocyte progenitors in marrow
-
IL-8
- Source: macrophage, endothelial cells
- Chemokine (neutrophils)
-
IL-10
- Source: TH2 cells
- Suppresses cytokine production of TH1
-
IL-12
- Source: macrophages
- Stimulates CMI
-
IL-17
- Source: TH17 cell
- Inflammation and tissue damage
- Associated with some autoimmune diseases
-
IFN-a, b
- Source: leukocytes, fibroblasts
- Inhibits viral protein synthesis
- Acts on uninfected cells
-
IFN-g
- Source: TH1 cells, CTL, NK cells
- Stimulates CMI, inhibits TH2, increases MHC I, II expression
-
TNF-a, b
- Source: TH1 cells, activated macrophage, CTL
- Enhances CMI
-
G-CSF and GM-CSF
- Source: Macrophage and TH cells
- Induces myelocyte proliferation
- Counters neutropenia following ablation
