Term

IL-1

Definition

Produced by APC's

stimulates Helper T cells

Pleiotropic

similar to TNFα

induces adhesion molecule expression

Term
IL-2
Definition

Produced by TH1

stimulates T cell activation and proliferation

Pleiotropic

enhances cytotoxic activity of NK cells and CTL

Term
IL-3
Definition

Produced primarily by T Cells, also NK cells, and others

growth factor for hematopoetic cells

Term
IL-4
Definition

Produced by TH2, & mast cells

Promotes proliferation and differentiation of B cells

Promotes TH2 proliferation and mast cell growth

Ig class switch from IgG to IgE

 

 

Term
IL-6
Definition

produced by TH2 cells

proinflammatory

aids in B cell development

Wound Healing

produced as a result of physiological stress

Term
IL-8 (Chemokine)
Definition

chemoattractant: attracts neutrophils and T cells (thus proinflammatory)

 

Term
IL-10
Definition

produced by TH2 cells

something different: ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

 

Term

TH1

Definition
IL-2, INFγ, TNFβ
Term
TH2
Definition
IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13
Term
INFα & INFβ
Definition

Produced by ALL CELLS 

antiviral effects

highly pleiotropic

induction of MHC class I molecules on

all somatic cells

 

 

Term
INFγ
Definition

Produced by TH1 cells, CTL, amd NK cells

highly pleiotropic

 

Term
IL-5
Definition

produced by TH2 cells and mast cells

Promotes IgG to IgE class switch

 

Term
TNFα
Definition

Produced by TH1, macrophages, & mast cells

Highly pleiotropic

similar to IL-1 in activity (not structure)

involved in septic shock and chronic imflammatory diseases

Term
TGFβ
Definition

produced by immune and non-immune cells

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Down regulates MHC II expression

pathology involving fibrosis
