Innate Interleukin-17 and Interleukin-22 play important roles in viral hepatitis
Intrahepatic cell-derived IL-17 and IL-22 are important for T cell priming and hepatoprotection in viral hepatitis, respectively; however, the source and regulation of these cytokines in the liver microenvironment are not well defined. Here, we present evidence for a significant expansion of IL-17- …

Psychoneuroimmunology of Interleukin-10
… homeostasis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, arising from disease processes, can activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Interleukin-10, as a prominent anti-inflammatory cytokine in the immune system, has been shown …

Detection of glial interleukin-6 release: Development of a novel interleukin-6 Elisa
The development of an interleukin-6 (IL-6) enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay resulted in a detection range of 1 ng/m1 to 10 ng/mL IL-6. The limit of detection (LOD) for IL-6 was 0.25 ng/mL. Troubleshooting techniques were attempted including matrix effects, non-specific binding, and coating …

Interleukin-6 and Interleukin-10 concentrations as predictors of patient outcome following major traumatic injury
… responses through the measurement ofinterleukin-6 and interleukin-10, may allow an early prediction of patient outcome and thelikelihood of developing complications. Blood samples and clinical data were taken on days 1, 3 and 5, with additional clinical datataken on day 8, following …

EOSINOPHILIC INFLAMMATION IN NASAL POLYPOSIS: REGULATION OF INTERLEUKIN 5 AND INTERLEUKIN 5 RECEPTOR α ISOFORMS
… pathogenesis of NP. Especially the regulation of interleukin-5 (IL-5) and the interleukin-5 receptor α (Rα) isoforms were studied with emphasis on future therapeutic strategies in NP. Characterisation of NP suggests a central deposition of plasma proteins (albumin), regulated by the subepithelial, …

Interleukin-10 und Interleukin-12 produzierende Monozyten-Subpopulationen bei Normalpersonen und Probanden mit atopischer Diathese
Durch Freisetzung regulatorischer Zytokine können Monozyten Immunreaktionen beeinflussen. In dieser Arbeit wurde die monozytäre Produktion von IL-10 und IL-12 untersucht. IL-12 ist ein proinflammatorisches Zytokin, das die zellvermittelte Abwehr aktiviert und TH1 Immunantworten induziert. IL-10 …

Macrophage Response to Interleukin-1 Stimulation and the Nature of Cell Surface Interleukin-1 Alpha
Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) is a potent cytokine involved in a range of diseases and can be found expressed on the cell surface (csIL-1α) and in the soluble form, signalling through the type I IL-1 receptor (IL-1R1). IL-1 signalling leads to increased secretion of cytokines, recruitment of immune cells …

Kontinuierliche Überexpression von Interleukin-6 im Zentralnervensystem : lokale Applikation d. Designerzytokins Hyper-Interleukin-6 im adulten Organismus d. Ratte u. Auswirkungen v. exzitatorischen Neurotoxinen im Interleukin-6 transgenen Mausmodell
… Expression des Designerzytokins Hyper-Interleukin-6 (H-IL-6) im <br>Zentralnervensystem (ZNS) entwickelt. H-IL-6 besteht aus humanem Interleukin-6 (IL-6) verbunden mit löslichem IL-6 Rezeptor (sIL-6R). Erstmalig wurden hierfür makroverkapselte, H-IL-6 exprimierende Maus-Melanomzellen …

Spezifische Hemmung der allergieassoziierten Interleukin-4 Signaltransduktion
Das Cytokin Interleukin-4 (IL-4) ist ein essentieller Faktor bei der Entstehung von Sofort-Typ Allergien. Die Bindung von IL-4 an seinen Rezeptor und die anschließende Phosphorylierung des IL-4 aktivierten Transkriptionsfaktors Stat6 ist ein Schlüsselereignis bei der allergischen Immunantwort. In …

Tissue specific genetic regulation of Interleukin 6
Interleukin 6 (IL6) is associated with arterial disease development, progression and surgical outcome. Raised levels of IL6 may play a causal role in disease development or may be the effect of pathology. An IL6 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) G- 174C has been identified and reported to …

An Evaluation of Two Interleukin-1 Assays
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is produced by macrophages and has been shown to be an important protein involved in the regulation of an immune response. Several methods of detecting IL-1 in the supernatant of macrophage cultures have been developed. The purpose of this project was to evaluate two of these …

Regulation of Adrenal Steroidogenesis by Interleukin-6
Cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) are steroids produced by the zona fasciculata (ZF) and reticularis (ZR), respectively, of the adrenal cortex. Both steroids are upregulated in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Cortisol is a glucorticoid that is important in the regulation of …

Contribution of Interleukin 6 Trans Signaling In Pulmonary Fibrosis
… no effective treatments available. Inhibition of interleukin 6 (IL-6) results in the attenuation of pulmonary fibrosis in mice. It is unclear whether this is due to blockade of classical<em> </em>signaling, mediated by membrane-bound IL-6 receptor alpha (mIL-6Rα), or trans signaling, mediated by …
