Cytokines in Immunology Matching

CytokineSourceMain target + effect
IL-2 Th1 cells Th1: increase IL-2 high affinity receptors, increase IL-2 production, upregulate adaptive immune system
IL-3 Activated T helper cells Hematopoietic stem cell differentiation
IL-4 Th2 cells, Treg cells B cell differentiation + class switch to IgE
IL-5 Th2 cells B cell differentiation + class switch to IgA
IL-6 Th2 cells, APCs B cell conversion to plasma cells; plasma cell secretion of antibody; hepatocyte secretion of acute phase reactants
IL-8 (CXCL8) Macrophages Neutrophil chemotaxis
IL-10 Th2 + Treg cells Activates Th2, Inhibits Th1
IL-12 APCs Induces CD4+ cell differentiation into Th1 cells; activates Th1 cells; activates NK cells
IL-13 Th2, Mast cells, NK cells Activate macrophages; stimulate IgE production
IFN-gamma Th1 cells, NK cells Activate macrophages, B cells, NK cells; Inhibit Th2 cells; suppress viral replication
TNF-alpha APCs, Th1 cells Increases IL-2 receptor synthesis in TH1 cells; increases B cell proliferation; neutrophil chemotaxis; systemic + local inflammatory mediator

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
