Let’s explore “Cytokines, including IL-6 and TNF-α — lab reference”

This report overview covers interleukin-15 receptor subunit alpha, IL-15 signaling, natural killer cells, CD8+ T cells, and the report’s discussion of pain.

This report overview covers interleukin-2 receptor alpha, regulatory T cells, soluble IL-2 receptor, and the T-cell activation vocabulary used in the report.

HMGB1 normally has functions inside the cell nucleus. When released outside cells in particular settings, it can act as a damage-associated molecular pattern, or DAMP, participating in inflammatory signaling.

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.

IL13 encodes interleukin-13, a cytokine involved in Th2 immune responses, mucus-related processes and tissue remodeling. It overlaps with some IL-4 functions but is not the same signal.

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.

IL1B encodes interleukin-1 beta, a cytokine involved in inflammatory responses and fever. Its production and activation are regulated processes, not simply an on/off consequence of having a common SNP.
