endogenous pyrogen

pyrogen

[pi´ro-jen] an agent that causes fever; called also pyretic and pyrectic. adj., adj pyrogen´ic.endogenous pyrogen a low-molecular-weight protein that is produced by phagocytic leukocytes in response to stimulation by exogenous pyrogens and released into the circulation; it induces fever by acting on the preoptic area of the hypothalamus to raise the set-point of the hypothalamic thermostat. The pyrogen produced by monocytes and macrophages is not identical to that produced by neutrophils and eosinophils; the mononuclear phagocytes also produce a greater amount of pyrogen for a longer period of time than do the polymorphonuclear cells.exogenous p's fever-producing agents of external origin, e.g., bacterial endotoxins and other microbial products, antigen-antibody complexes, viruses and synthetic polynucleotides, incompatible blood and blood products, and androgen breakdown products such as etiocholanolone; the action is mediated by endogenous pyrogen.

Any of a number of compounds, usually cytokines (e.g., interleukin-6, interleukin-1 alpha, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-gamma and macrophage inflammatory protein-1), that induce a febrile reaction, typically in a background of an acute-phase response.
