CYTOKINES

ACTIONS OF CYTOKINES
• Endocrine - systemic
3
FEATURES OF CYTOKINES
• Pleotropism
single cytokine has many different actions
• Redundancy
different cytokines often have very similar effects
• Synergy
cooperative effect of multiple cytokines
• Antagonist
inhibition of one cytokine effects by another
cytokine
• Act in networks
stimulate the release of other cytokines
• Act as growth factors for hematopoietic cells
modulate the number and composition of cells
4
ROLES OF CYTOKINES
• Innate immunity
• Adaptive immunity

CHEMOKINES
• CC chemokine
• Attract mononuclear cells to sites of chronic inflammation
(MCP-1)
• CXC chemokine
• Attracts PMNs to sites of inflammation, activates monocytes
and may direct the recruitment of these cells to vascular
lesions (CXCL8)
• CX3 chemokine
• Forms a cell-adhesion receptor capable of arresting cells
under physiologic flow conditions
26
CYTOKINES IN SPECIFIC IMMUNITY
• Th1 cytokines
• IL-2, IFN-γ
• Th2 cytokines
• IL-4, IL-5, IL-10
27
IFN-Γ
• It blocks Il-4
