Definition
- produced by virally infected cells
- induced by dsRNA and long (polycistronic RNA)
Term
Phenotypic changes in infected cells
Definition
- low MHC I then ^^
- ^^ IFN-a/B & IFNAR expression
- ^ Fas
- ^ Pkr
- ^ 2,5 OAS/Rnase L expression
Term
IgG
Definition
- most Ig in blood
- crosses placenta
- fixes complement
Term
IgA
Definition
- colostrum, resp and intestinal mucous, saliva, tears
- J joining polypeptide chains
Term
IgM
Definition
- Pentamer
- 1st to appear in ontogeny
- 1st to appear in response to antigen stimulation
Term
IgD
Definition
- serves as a receptor on the B-cell surface
Term
IgE
Definition
Fc region that binds mast cells
involved in allergic reactions
Term
IL-1
Definition
- From macros
- endogenous pyrogen= fever and acute inflammation
- activates endothelium to express adhesion molecules
- induces chemokine secretion to recruit leukocytes
Term
IL-2
Definition
- From Th1
-Stimulates growth of helper and cytotoxic t-cells
Term
IL-3
Definition
- Secreted by all Tcells
- supports the growth and differentiation of bone marrow stem cells. functions like GM-CSF
Term
IL-4
Definition
- From Th2
- induces differentiation into Th2
- promotes growth of B-cells
- enhances class switching to IgE,IgG
Term
IL-5
Definition
- from th2
-promotes differentiation of Bcell
- enhaces class switching to IgA
- Stimulates the growth and diff of eosinophils
Term
IL-6
Definition
- From macros
- endogenous pyrogens
- fever and production of acute phase proteins
Term
IL-8
Definition
- From macros
-Major chemotactic factor for neutrophils
Term
IL-10
Definition
- From reg Tcells, Th2
- Modulates inflammatory response
- Inhibits Tcell, Th1
- Activates Th2
- TGF-B has similar action
Term
IL-12
Definition
- From macros and B cells
- induces differentiation of T cells into Th1
- activates NK cells
Term
IL-7
Definition
- from bone marrow
- stimulates pre-Bcell and pre-tcells
Term
IL-9
Definition
- from Th-cells
- t-cell mitogen
Term
IL-11
Definition
- from bone marrow
- stimulates hematopoeisis
- enhances acute phase protein synthesis
Term
IL-13
Definition
- from Th2 cells
- inhibits inflammatory cytokines
Term
IL-15
Definition
-from tcells
- enhances growth of intestinal epithelium
- tcell mitogen
Term
TNF-a
Definition
-from macros
- mediates septic shock
- Activates endothelium
- causes leukocyte recruitment, vascular leak
Term
interferon-y
Definition
- from Th1
- activates macros and Th1
- supresses Th2
- ^^ MHC I, II in all cells
Term
Interferon a,b
Definition
ribonucleuase
Term
