IL6 and influenza: It was shown earlier (Jurgens et al., 2012), that proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-α) and microglial reactivity were increased, while neurotrophic (BDNF, NGF) and immunomodulatory (CD200, CX3CL1) factors were decreased in the hippocampus of influenza infected adult mice.
