Cytokines in Immunology Matching

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Cytokine
Source
Main 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  
🗑
GM-CSF   Th1 + Th2 cells   Leukocyte differentiation from myeloid progenitor cells  
🗑
IL-1   APCs   Inflammatory + Pyrogenic  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
