Hypothesis: TGF-beta1 is associated with viral infections

Hypothesis: TGF-beta1 is associated with viral infections either through the mast cells of the mucosal membrane or the tlr7/9 of the M2 macrophages causing antibody switching to the secreted IgA2 dimer or the IgG3.  Both have a disulfide bond core that would attract DNA/RNA to the antibody.

Tc cells CD8 are involved with viral infections

IgG3 has 11 disulfide bonds

secretory component and the disulfide bonds

does the dimer IgA2 have enough disulfide bonds on the SC that it compares to the 11 disulfide bonds of the IgG3?

M2 macrophages il-10 tgf-beta1 glucocorticoids

(glucocorticoids are produced during viral infections)

M2 macrophages are also the tyrosine kinase wearing macrophages: tyro3, axl, mer which are the hands that allow macrophages to grab on and ingest virally infected host cells


Further il-21 and TGF-b1 stimulate TH17 cells to secrete il-26 (nuclear) and il-19 (mitochondria) suggesting that the viral infections hiding in the mitochondria or nucleus need to be popped out. 

il-21 is the cytokine expressed by Tc - B cells matching up the TLR with the MHC1.
