What is a cytokine?
Proteins made by a cell that affect the behaviour of other cells, particularly immune cells. Cytokines made by lymphocytes are often  called interleukins (= IL).

Immunology - Chapter 5: Cytokines

Name the four major families of cytokines.
- TNF family (e.g. TNFα)
- Haematopoietin family (e.g. IL-6)
- IL-1 family (e.g. IL-1α/β)
- Interferons (e.g. Type I)
- Chemokines (CXC, CC)

Immunology - Chapter 5: Cytokines

Name the five most important cytokines produced by macrophages after phagocytosis.
- TNF-α
- IL-1β
- IL-6
- CXCL8/IL-8
- IL-12
