Cytokines production in the serum of ALI patients. The interaction between dendritic cell (DC) and T cell leads to T cell activation and immune response including ALI diseases. The MHC-antigen complex in the surface of DC activates the TCR and the T cell cytokines secretion. The serum levels of IL-4 in ALI patients were not changed compared to control group. The serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-12 were increased in patients compared to healthy control group, that induce Th1 immune response. *The figure was created with BioRender.com.
