  2. Inflammatory cytokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_cytokine

    An inflammatory cytokine is a type of cytokine (a signaling molecule) that is secreted from immune cells and certain other cell types that promotes inflammation. Inflammatory cytokines are predominantly produced by T helper cells ( T h ) and macrophages and involved in the upregulation of inflammatory reactions. [ 1 ]

  3. Cytokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine

    It has been shown that inflammatory cytokines cause an IL-10-dependent inhibition of [24] T-cell expansion and function by up-regulating PD-1 levels on monocytes, which leads to IL-10 production by monocytes after binding of PD-1 by PD-L. [24] Adverse reactions to cytokines are characterized by local inflammation and/or ulceration at the ...

  4. Cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholinergic_anti...

    TNF amplifies and prolongs the inflammatory response by activating other cells to release interleukin-1 (IL-1), high mobility group B1 and other cytokines. [4] These inflammatory cytokine responses confer protective advantages to the host at the site of bacterial infection. A “beneficial” inflammatory response is limited, resolves in 48 ...

  5. Macrophage inflammatory protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage_inflammatory...

    Macrophage Inflammatory Proteins (MIP) belong to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as chemokines. In humans, there are two major forms, MIP-1α and MIP-1β, renamed CCL3 and CCL4 respectively, since 2000. [ 3 ]

  6. Systemic inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_inflammation

    Chronic systemic inflammation (SI) is the result of release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from immune-related cells and the chronic activation of the innate immune system.It can contribute to the development or progression of certain conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune and neurodegenerative ...

  7. Cytokine release syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_release_syndrome

    In immunology, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that can be triggered by a variety of factors such as infections and certain drugs. [3] It refers to cytokine storm syndromes (CSS) [ 4 ] and occurs when large numbers of white blood cells are activated and release inflammatory cytokines ...

  8. Interleukin 15 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin_15

    Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL15 gene.IL-15 is an inflammatory cytokine with structural similarity to Interleukin-2 (IL-2). Like IL-2, IL-15 binds to and signals through a complex composed of IL-2/IL-15 receptor beta chain and the common gamma chain (gamma-C, CD132).

  9. Cytokine storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_storm

    A cytokine storm, also called hypercytokinemia, is a pathological reaction in humans and other animals in which the innate immune system causes an uncontrolled and excessive release of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules called cytokines.
