Document Summary
Different t cells produce different cytokine patterns. Mostly acting on: macros and tc cells (cytotoxic t cells) Cytokines have a huge role in innate immunity but they also play key roles in bridging the innate and adaptive iss. Mostly directed to: viral infections, intracell pathogens. Mostly directed to: extracell bacteria and pathogens. Characterised by: b cell activation, ab production. Different cytokines can induce differentiation of different cell types. Different cell types then produce different cytokines too. The first line of cytokines impact the differentiation of t cells. The second line of cytokines are produced by the differentiated t cells. **sometimes the types of cytokine that stimulate them to differentiate is the same type of cytokine that the differentiated cell will secrete (this is not always the case, however) A very important pro-infl cytokine which can have both local and systemic effects. Infection of the blood can cause activation of macros in the liver.
