Cytokines are essential signaling proteins produced by the immune system to facilitate communication between cells, regulate immune responses, and combat infections as described in [1], [2], and [3]. They act as the immune system's primary messengers, triggering defense mechanisms and inflammation when threats are detected, as evidenced by [4], [5], and [6].

claimCytokine release syndrome (CRS), also called a cytokine storm, is a condition that may develop if the immune system releases too many cytokines in response to an infection or treatments like immunotherapy.
claimCytokines allow the immune system to mount a defense when germs or other harmful substances enter the body.
claimCytokines are essential components of a healthy immune system.
claimCytokines send signals to other cells to maintain immune system function even when no specific threat is present.
claimCytokines are essential components of a healthy immune system, as they act as signaling molecules that help maintain an infection-free state when present in the correct amounts.
claimCytokines function as chemical messengers within the immune system, which is a network of parts that protects the body from threats like viruses and bacteria.

claimMacrophages play a critical role in activating other parts of the immune system by secreting chemical signals called cytokines after ingesting a pathogen.
claimCytokines are small proteins that guide immune responses by binding to cell surface receptors, triggering actions such as cell growth, change, reproduction, or interaction with other cells.
claimMacrophages activate other parts of the immune system by secreting chemical signals called cytokines after ingesting a pathogen, which recruits other immune cells to the area and leads to inflammation.
How the Immune System Works with Primary Immunodeficiency igcares.com 3 facts
claimThe major proteins of the immune system are signaling proteins (cytokines), antibodies, and complement proteins.
claimCytokines are small proteins that serve as hormones for the immune system and represent its communication network, produced in response to a threat.
claimImmune system cells communicate either by directly touching each other or by secreting cytokines that act on other cells locally or at a distance.

claimThe major proteins of the immune system are cytokines (hormones responsible for communication between immune cells), antibodies (immunoglobulins), and complement proteins.
claimPrimary immunodeficiencies result from a defect in one or more elements or functions of the normal immune system, such as T cells, B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, monocytes, antibodies, cytokines, or the complement system.

claimInflammation is the immune system's primary response to infection and foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses, involving the release of cytokines from white blood cells into the blood or affected tissues.
