Y. Pacheco et al., CYTOKINES AND EICOSANOIDS ACTION IN INFLA MMATORY PROCESSES, Revue francaise d'allergologie et d'immunologie clinique, 33(4), 1993, pp. 298-310
The role of cytokines in the inflammatory process is of great, importa
nce, both for recruiting and activating immunocytes, and because of th
eir interaction with epithelial and endothelial cells. Eicosanoids par
ticipate in these reactions and often amplify them. This general surve
y reviews all known interactions between the two main families of infl
ammation mediators.
