Cytokine profile in viral infections.
The immune response against viruses is initiated through recognition of viral molecules. The Cytokine network against viruses start with some cytokines produced by virus infected cells inducing a potent inflammatory response, attracting and activating phagocyte cells (e.g. neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells), mast cells and Natural Killer cells, to the site of infection. Furthermore, these cytokines are involved in the induction of an immune response with the purpose of eliminating infected cells and extracellular virus while other cytokines modulate the immune response.
Cytokine profile in bacterial infections.
Cytokines induce the expression of molecules cells promoting the recruitment of neutrophils and macrophages to the site of bacterial infection.
Cytokine profile in fungal infections.
Cytokines are activated inducing and stimulating phagocytosis of neutrophils and macrophages.
