IL-8
Chemotaxis
(low concentration)
Activation of PMNs (high concentration)
TNF-a
Inflammation
Promotes IL-1 production
Stimulates endothelial cells to express adhesion factors
Promote migration of Neutrophils to site
IL-1
Inflammation
Activates T-cells
Acts like TNF-a
IFN-g
Inflammation
Anti-viral
Promotes Th1; inhibits Th2
Stimulates expression of MHC I/II
Stimulates B-cell class switching
IL-10
Immunosupression
Inihibits MHC II on macrophages
Inhibits IL-12/TNF production
IL-2
Proliferation
and differentiation of immune cells
TGF-b
Inhibition of proliferation
IL-12
Induces cell-mediated immunity
Increases ability of NK and CTLs
IL-6
Proliferation of plasma cells
IL-5
Growth and differentiation of eosinophils
B-cell differentiation
IgA production
IL-4
Development of Th-2
B-cell class switch to IgE
Th-1 (cell mediated)
IL-2
IFN-g
TNF-b
Th-2 (humoral)
IL-4
IL-5
IL-10
IL-12 -> Th-1
IFN-g -> intracellular pathogens
IL-4 -> Th-2
IL-4 -> extracellular pathogens
TGF-b + IL-6/IL-21 -> Th-17
IL-17/IL-22 -> extracellular bacteria, inflammation
TGF-b - IL-6 -> Treg
IL-10 -> immunosuppresion, anti-inflammatory
