🗑
TNFα is secreted by?   Many cell types especially activated macrophages  
🗑
TNFβ is secreted by?   T (Th-1)and B cells  
🗑
CC are secreted by?   Many cell types (neutrophils, B and T cells, etc)  
🗑

🗑
Effects of IL-1?   Fever/pyrogen, Induction of adhesion proteins & APCs, Increase vascular permeability, Autocrine (on macrophage and monocytes), T-cell activation & helps it secrete IL2, B cell proliferation  
🗑
Effects of IL-2?   Autocrine (on CD4), “Growth factor” of various cells (need Ag), Prolif/diff of T,B, or NK cells, Part of inflammatory subset secreted by Th1  
🗑
Effects of IL-4?   Critical for B cell activation and prolif, Class switching (IgM to IgG,A,E..), Induces Naïve CD4+ into Th-2, Part of helper subset secreted by Th2  
🗑
Effects of IL-5?   Part of helper subset secreted by Th2, Important for the activation of eosinophils  
🗑
Effects of IL-6?   Fever, B-cell proliferation, Part of helper subset secreted by Th2, Helps produce MBP  
🗑
Effects of IL-7?   T/B cell prolif during development, Needed in culture systems (outside Thymus)  
🗑
Effects of IL-8?   Chemotactic for neutrophils, Increase vascular permeability  
🗑
Effects of IL-10?   Induces Naïve CD4+ into Th-2  
🗑

🗑
Effects of TNFα?   Fever, Chemotactic, Increase vascular permeability, Directly kill tumor cells, Activate moncytes/macrophages, Expression of adhesion molecules  
🗑
Effects of TNFβ?   Directly kill tumor cells, Activate moncytes/macrophages, Expression of adhesion molecules, Part of inflammatory subset secreted by Th1  
🗑
Effects of TGFβ?   Induces Naïve CD4+ into Th-1, a T-cell factor  
🗑
Effects of CC?   Attract monocytes and T cells  
🗑
Effects of CXC?   Attract neutrophils (same as IL8)  
🗑


   

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.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
