Presentation Transcript

  1. Cytokines Dr.Ghada Boghdadi

  2. Objectives: • List the surface and secreted molecules involved in immune interactions. • Explain the effects of each cytokine. • Identify the function of cytokines and interleukins in cell-mediated immunity. • Discuss the role of interferons in the prevention of infections. Anantha Narayanan Ch 15

  3. Cytokines: • Low MW non-antibody proteins • act as mediators between cells • Secreted by a variety of cells • Important role in the induction • and regulation of immune responses • Stimulus is required for production • High affinity binding to specific receptors • Induce gene activation

  4. A cytokine can be pleiotropic (different effect on different cells)

  5. Receptors for various cytokines showing common subunits

  6. Monokines, cytokines produced by mononuclear phagocytic cells • Lymphokines, cytokines produced by activated lymphocytes, especially Th cells • Interleukins, cytokines that act as mediators between leukocytes • Categories: • TNF family • Chemokine family • Interferon family • Hematopoietin family • ILs • TGFs

  7. Functions: Regulate hematopoiesis Innate immune responses Inflammation Specific immune responses

  8. Mediators of natural immunity: • TNF, IL1, IL10, IL12, type I IFN, IFN-γ • B. Mediators of adaptive immunity: • IL2, IL4, IL5, TGB-β • C. Stimulators of hematopoesis: • M-CSF, GM-CSF

  9. Cytokine network

  10. Signals of Immune cells Interaction

  12. Cytokine antagonists- two mechanisms Inhibitor binds to receptor and blocks it (e.g., IL-1Ra) Soluble receptors bind to cytokines so they can’t bind to membrane-bound receptors (soluble IL-2 receptor among many others; released in chronic T-cell activation)

  13. Interferons Type I: IFN-α, IFN- Type II:IFN- They are antiviral and possess antioncogenic properties. Macrophages and natural killer cell activation. Enhancement of MHC classes I and II, and thus presentation of foreign (microbial) peptides to T cells.

  14. Intracellular virus, bacteria No IL-4 APC Th Th1 IL-12 IFN-α NK IFN-

  15. When a tissue cell is infected by a virus, it releases interferon. Interferon will diffuse to the surrounding cells. When it binds to receptors on the surface of those adjacent cells, they begin the production of a protein that prevents the synthesis of viral proteins. This prevents the spread of the virus throughout the body.
