IFNG encodes interferon gamma, a cytokine involved in cellular immune defense and activation of macrophages. It differs from the Th2 signals more often emphasized in allergic responses.

What’s searchable?IL10 encodes interleukin-10, a cytokine that can limit inflammatory responses and help prevent excessive immune-mediated tissue damage. Immune balance includes resolving a response as well as starting one.
IL12B encodes the p40 subunit shared by IL-12 and IL-23. This makes it an intersection between immune pathways rather than a stand-alone measure of one cytokine.
IL15 encodes a cytokine involved in the survival and activity of immune cells, including natural killer cells and memory CD8 T cells. Its receptor system includes IL15RA.
IL16 encodes interleukin-16, a cytokine involved in attracting and influencing immune cells, including CD4-expressing cells. Its recruitment role helps separate it from other numbered interleukins.
IL18 encodes interleukin-18, a cytokine that can promote interferon-gamma responses in the appropriate immune context. Its receptor includes components encoded by IL18R1 and IL18RAP.
IL18R1 encodes a component of the receptor for IL-18. It works with an accessory component, IL18RAP, to support IL-18 signaling.
IL2RA encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-2 receptor, also called CD25. It is involved in immune activation and regulatory T-cell biology; a soluble receptor measurement is distinct from a DNA result.
TGFB1 encodes transforming growth factor beta 1, which has roles in immune regulation, tissue repair and extracellular-matrix production. Its effects can include both regulation of inflammation and promotion of fibrosis.
TNFSF10 encodes TRAIL, a signaling protein involved in regulated cell death through particular receptors. It is a different member of the TNF-related signaling family from TNF itself.
Refers to part of the HLA immune-recognition region, rather than one gene. HLA typing requires more detail than a broad region label.

About search coverage
Search looks for your words in titles, descriptions, available articles, learning guides, and video captions when available. The closest matches appear first. Duplicate posts are grouped, with links to other places you can read or watch them. Books, chapters, and reports have topic guides here; the original files and full book text are not available in this encyclopedia. Subscriber posts include a title and public summary; open Substack to read the full post.
