There is a general term called cytokines. These are secreted molecules with autocrine (self taget), paracrine (local target), and endocrine (far target) functions. These chemicals can be used to alter behavior of a cell (vasoactivate endothelial cells to leak out plasma), commit a cell to apoptosis (cytotoxic), or attract cells form the adaptive and innate immune system to perform a function (chemotaxis). Lymphokines are a subclass of cytokines which are released by cells of the lymphoid progenitor (b-cells, t-cells, and NK cells). Monokines are a subclass of cytokines which are sercreted by monocytes and macropohages. Macrophages are mature Monocytes which are made from a myeloid progenitor.

Cell mediated immunity anatomy definition?
Immunity independent of antibody but dependent on the recognition of antigen by T cells and their subsequent destruction of cells bearing the antigen or on the secretion by T cells of lymphokines that enhance the ability of phagocytes to eliminate the antigen.
What happens as a direct result when activated macrophages release the monokine called interleukin-1?
One of the monokines, IL-1, is released from activated macrophages and damaged endothelium. IL-1 is the initial signal for activation of T-cells, neutrophils (in local inflammation). IL-1 stimulates bone marrow, acute-phase protein synthesis and is responsible for the induction of a fever (Staines et al, 1994).
