TNF
Some search terms matchedTNF encodes tumor necrosis factor, an immune-signaling protein involved in inflammation, host defense and regulation of cell survival. Its name should not be read as proof that a TNF result indicates cancer.

What’s searchable?CCL3
Some search terms matchedCCL3 encodes MIP-1 alpha, a chemokine involved in attracting and activating immune cells. It is related to CCL4, or MIP-1 beta, but the two genes and proteins are distinct.
CCL4
Some search terms matchedCCL4 encodes MIP-1 beta, a chemokine involved in attracting immune cells. It participates in a recruitment network that includes CCL2, CXCL8 and related chemokines.
CCL5
Some search terms matchedCCL5, also called RANTES, is a chemokine that helps direct immune-cell movement. Chemokines tell cells where to go, which is different from measuring the total strength of an immune response.
IL16
Some search terms matchedIL16 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.
IL17A
Some search terms matched…ling. It belongs to the Th17 pathway, which is supported by signals including IL-23. Also called: Th17 signaling and persistent inflammation IL17A encodes interleukin-17A, a cytokine involved in defense at tissue barriers and inflammatory …
TGFB1
Some search terms matchedTGFB1 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.
CD14 & endotoxin signaling
Some search terms matchedExplore membrane and soluble CD14, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), TLR4, and innate immune activation.
TLR2
Some search terms matchedExplore Toll-like receptor 2, microbial and damage signals, TLR1, TLR6, and MyD88 signaling. Understand the connection TLR2 is a pattern-recognition receptor that helps immune cells detect components of microbes and damaged tissue. It ofte…
