a substance which mediates communication between and among cells
Cytokines are chemicals involved in growth and regulation They also influence bone resorption (breakdown) and formation
A member of a family of proteins released by cells that act on other cells through specific receptors Cytokines control cell growth and differentiation, and regulate immune and inflammatory responses Examples of cytokines include growth factors, colony
a group of soluble, hormone-like proteins produced by white blood cells and that act as messengers between cells Cytokines can stimulate or inhibit the activity of immune cells and may prove useful as immunologic adjuvants
a soluble, hormone-like protein produced by white blood cells that acts as a messenger between cells Cytokines can stimulate or inhibit the growth and activity of various immune cells Cytokines are essential for a coordinated immune response and can also be used as immunologic adjuvants HIV replication is regulated by a delicate balance among cytokines
a low molecular weight protein released by one cell and acting upon another at tissue level; cytokines stimulate or inhibit the differentiation, proliferation or function of immune cells
A protein that stimulates white blood cells to search and destroy bacteria, virally infected cells, and cancer cells
Protein messenger produced by cells of the immune system which modulates the functions of other cells
any of various proteins secreted by cells of the immune system that serve to regulate the immune system
means low molecular weight proteins that stimulate or inhibit the proliferation or function of immune cells
an intercellular chemical messenger protein released by white blood cells Cytokines facilitate communication among immune system cells and between immune system cells and the rest of the body
Proteins manufactured by cells of various lineages that, when secreted, drive specific responses (e g , proliferation, growth, or maturation) in other susceptible cells
A compound that acts as a messenger between immune system cells
protein produced by cells: a protein secreted by cells of the lymph system that affects the activity of other cells and is important in controlling inflammatory responses e g interleukins and interferons
cytokine storm
An immune system - cytokine positive feedback reaction to certain infections. Suspected as being implicated in the high mortality rates of the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918-1920
cytokine storms
plural form of cytokine storm
cytokines
chemical messengers that allow neighbouring cells to communicate with each other They are paracrine messages as distinct from endochrine or hormonal messengers There are several main families of cytokines including growth factors , neurotransmitters, , lymphokines and many others The method of communication involves detection of the chemical message, a ligand , by receptor proteins for example an integrin on the cell membrane of the receiving cell The result of the message is a shift in the level of gene expression or the expression of new genes and altered cell behaviour Cytokines are complex as they sometimes inhibit and/or facilitate the actions of each other
cytokines
Cytokines are proteins that are encoded by and often secreted by immunocompetent cells and which control immune activity within the cell or at a distance Cytokines mediate to a large extent immunologic cross-talk between immune cells and within immune cells They represent tiny immunologic messages that can be communicated thoughout the body Certain cytokines can turn parts of the immune system on while others can turn the immune system off Cytokines mediate to a very large extent any inflammatory response They can provoke profound responses in both immune and non-immune cells A dyregulated or possibly appropriate cytokine response is thought to underlie many symptoms of the chronic fatigue syndrome The fever, malaise and flu-like symptoms seen in chronic fatigue syndrome are cytokine mediated The cognitive symptoms and fatigue itself may be cytokine mediated Return to list of Terms
cytokines
Hormones or growth factors produced by cells that help regulate cell processes
cytokines
powerful chemical substances secreted by T cells that are an important factor in the production of inflammation
cytokines
substances that are secreted by cells of the immune system
cytokines
Cytokines are chemicals involved in growth and regulation They also influence bone resorption (breakdown) and formation
cytokines
any of several regulatory proteins, such as interleukins or lymphokines, that are released by cells of the immune system and act as cellular mediators in the generators of an immune response
cytokines
chemicals produced by the immune system that stimulate white blood cells to attack and kill viruses, bacteria, foreign cells, or cancer cells
cytokines
Proteins which occur naturally in the body, and which are similar to hormones Intercellular mediators, cytokines differ from hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissues or cell types They may stimulate immunity
cytokines
chemical messengers that are involved in the regulation of almost every system in the body and are important in controlling local and systemic inflammatory response
cytokines
soluble molecules, produced by cells, that help regulate cell-cell interactions
cytokines
Hormone-like low molecular weight proteins secreted by many different cell types, which regulate the intensity and duration of immune responses Cytokines amplify some parts of the immune system and suppress other parts Many cytokines have been identified such as interferon-a,b, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) Cytokines made by lymphocytes are often called lymphokines or interleukins (abbreviated IL)
cytokines
Compounds involved in regulating the immune response
cytokines
Refers to biologic messenger or signalling type proteins that enable cells to influence one another Cytokines are important as part of the immune system in the body In disease states, however, cytokines may send messages that may lead to further joint inflammation and damage
cytokines
Naturally occurring proteins that regulate or modify the growth of specific cells
cytokines
Powerful chemical substances secreted by cells Cytokines include lymphokines produced by lymphocytes and monokines produced by monocytes and macrophages
cytokines
Peptides which regulate cellular growth, differentiation and activation
cytokines
A vast array of relatively low mass, biologically active proteins that are secreted by immune cells Cytokines are signaling chemicals involved in various pathways that contribute to the inflammatory response
cytokines
non-enzymatic proteins capable of acting as mediators in immune and inflammatory responses, or of determining a proliferative or differentiative stimulus on various cell lines
cytokines
Powerful chemical substances secreted by cells Cytokines include lymphokines produced by lymphocytes (Read about "The Lymph System") and monokines produced by monocytes and macrophages

plural of cytokine
cytokines
