Cytokines are a heterogeneous group of polypeptide mediators that have been aswciakd classically wlth activation of the lmmune system and inflammatory responses. An incmasing number of related mediators is now included in this category and most of them have been shown to act on a variety of tissues, including the PNS and CNS. Cytokines and their recep tars are expressed in tissues of these nervous systems, and might derive from invading immune, or resident, cells. Trauma in peripheral tissues might also induce cytoklne-mediated events in the CNS, via either the circulation or secondary lnductlon wlthin the brain, In this first of a two= part review, the general properties, expression and recognition of these cytoklnes with respect to the nervous system are discussed.
