Abstract
The inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1 (IL1) and tumour necrosis fac tor (TNF) have a broad range of physiological effects. Whereas their i mmediate post-receptor events are not well understood, both have the p otential to activate a range of protein kinases. These include the thr ee types of mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase (ERK,JNK/p54 and p3 8) and a beta-casein kinase. The mechanisms by which these kinases are activated is discussed and the significance of their activation for p articular biological responses is assessed.
