title: [Cytokines and nonviral infections].
abstract: Cytokines (interferons, tumour necrosis factor and interleukin-1) with marked polyfunctional properties are described. They are synthesized by different cells of both immune and non-immune systems of organism and are able to stimulate, induce or inhibit various immunological and biological reactions and processes. The effect exerted by these cytokines on the course of bacterial infections is analyzed. The cytokines possess protective properties which are demonstrated in activation of neutrophils, intensification of bactericidal and phagocytic activity of macrophages and natural cells-killers.
