DESCRIPTION
Key Terms Cytokines – soluble peptides or glycoproteins that regulate immune, inflammatory responses and other biologic processes. –Interleukin (IL) – cytokines that only affect leukocytes. Lymphocyte – A type of leukocyte (white blood cell) of the immune system. –T-Regulatory Cell – slows down and stops immune response –T-Helper Cell (Th cell) – has antigen-receptors, releases cytokines –Natural Killer Cell – kills macrophage and bad stuff –Cytotoxic T-Cell – kills cells that produce foreign antigens such as cells infected by viruses –B-Cell – creates antibodies. Antigen – invading microbe Antibody – protein that fights bacteria and viruses.

Celiac disease
•a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food•it is a genetic disorder•some of the symptoms of celiac disease are diarrhea, weight loss, malnutrition, etc•when people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the small intestine•Diagnosis is by intestinal biopsy histological grading and presence of serum auto- antibodies.
Key Terms• Cytokines – soluble peptides or glycoproteins that regulate
immune, inflammatory responses and other biologic processes. – Interleukin (IL) – cytokines that only affect leukocytes.
• Lymphocyte – A type of leukocyte (white blood cell) of the immune system.– T-Regulatory Cell – slows down and stops immune
response– T-Helper Cell (Th cell) – has antigen-receptors, releases
cytokines– Natural Killer Cell – kills macrophage and bad stuff– Cytotoxic T-Cell – kills cells that produce foreign antigens
such as cells infected by viruses– B-Cell – creates antibodies.
• Antigen – invading microbe
• Antibody – protein that fights bacteria and viruses.

SUMMARY
• Patients with Celiac Disease (AD, GFD or RD) have significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory, TH1( (IFN-γ) and TH2 (IL-4, IL-6, IL-8) cytokines when compared to normal controls.
• Patients on therapy (gluten-free-diet) had fewer pro-inflammatory cytokines with elevated levels than Active disease patients
CONCLUSIONSA better understanding of cytokine
abnormalities may provide insight into: -Systemic symptoms -Disease pathogenesis -Better monitoring of disease activity -New therapeutic and prognostic modalities
