Immunological activity (for review see Dietrich et al. 2003). Astrocytes are stimulated by the cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1), IFN-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), as well as by multiple other growth factors (Norenberg 1997). Enlarged (reactive) astrocytes harbor an enhanced number of cytoplasmic organelles plus increased levels of GFAP, Ia antigen, IL-1, α-1-anti-chymotrypsin, and acute phase reactive protein (Eddleston and Mucke 1993).
