Cytokines and inflammatory response
Cytokines and inflammatory response localized in the pulmonary alveoli. This medical illustration shows on the upper side the normal immune response when a virus (in red and yellow) penetrates into the alveoli of the lungs. While the lower part of the illustration represents an abnormal reaction that triggers a cytokine storm. In the normal reaction, the cytokines (light green beads) produced by macrophages (in green) when the virus arrives in the alveolus stimulate the inflammatory response. They also stimulate the multiplication of immune cells.
