Immunologic Characteristics of Cytokines in Otitis Media with Effusion

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1992
Levels of cytokines, interleukin (IL)–1α, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were investigated in samples of the middle ear effusions (MEEs) from 144 ears with otitis media with effusion (OME) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, followed by cytologic analysis.

Chapter 9 Cytokines in immunology

1996
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the role of cytokines in immunology. Cytokines are made by virtually every cell of the body. The cytokines that regulate aspects of immunity are derived primarily from blood cells, and the reticulo-endothelial system.

Cytokines and Cell Mediated Immunology

1993
Binding of a T cell to an antigen presented by an antigen presenting cell (APC) leads to mutual activation of both cell types and to the release of an array of cytokines. During the last years the increase in knowledge of the involvement of individual cytokines in the interactive process between T cells and monocytes/macrophages has been overwhelming ...

Immunologic messenger molecules: Cytokines, interferons, and chemokines

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2010
Cytokines and chemokines are secreted proteins involved in numerous aspects of cell growth, differentiation, and activation. A prominent feature of these molecules is their effect on the immune system with regard to cell trafficking and development of immune tissue and organs. The nature of an immune response determines which cytokines are produced and

Cytokine patterns of immunologically mediated tissue damage

The Journal of Immunology, 1992
Abstract Reactional states in leprosy are produced by different immunologic mechanisms and are responsible for a major component of tissue damage of the disease. Reversal reactions exhibit increased CD4 T cell infiltration in lesions and augmented cell-mediated immune reactivity to Ag of Mycobacterium leprae that can rapidly produce ...

The role of cytokines in immunological tolerance: potential for therapy

Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine, 2000
Current immunosuppression protocols, although often effective, are nonspecific and therefore hazardous. Consequently, immunological tolerance that is antigen specific and does not globally depress the patient's immune system has become one of the Holy Grails of immunology.

Release of reactive nitrogen intermediates and reactive oxygen intermediates from mouse peritoneal macrophages. Comparison of activating cytokines and evidence for independent production.

Journal of Immunology, 1988
The capacity of 12 cytokines to induce NO2- or H2O2 release from murine peritoneal macrophages was tested by using resident macrophages, or macrophages elicited with periodate, casein, or thioglycollate broth. Elevated H2O2 release in response to PMA was

Immunology and cytokine pathways

2018
Psoriatic arthritis immunopathology has become the subject of intense study. These findings show differences to other forms of inflammatory arthritis in key pathways. Increased knowledge of innate immunity and the important role of IL-17/23 biology in both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, have led to new theories of immunopathogenesis in both ...

CYTOKINE IMBALANCE IN NON-IMMUNOLOGICAL CHRONIC DISEASE

Cytokine, 2002
Over the last decade, cytokine imbalances have been associated with a plethora of diseases. While the Th(1)/Th(2) paradigm is widely used to explain the pathogenesis of immunological diseases, the role of cytokine imbalances for non-immunological diseases is still incompletely defined.

Cytokines and immunological control of Eimeria spp.

International Journal for Parasitology, 1995
Protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Eimeria cause considerable losses in livestock production in which stocking densities are high or environments restricted. The ability of hosts to mount immunological responses which limit parasite reproduction vary according to the particular species of Eimeria.
