IL-7 is superior to IL-2 for ex vivo expansion of tumourspecific CD4 + T cells
It is well established that tumours hinder both natural and vaccine-induced tumourspecific CD4 + T-cell responses. Adoptive T-cell therapy has the potential to circumvent functional tolerance and enhance anti-tumour protective responses. While protocols

Characterization of the function of thymic stromal lymphopoietin in lymphopoiesis and lymph node organogenesis [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-7 is a cytokine, which is crucial for the development of the murine immune system. It is required for lymphopoiesis and for the development of peripheral lymph nodes (LN). IL-7-/-mice have impaired B and T cell lymphopoiesis, decreased

An antibody to IL-1 receptor 7 protects mice from LPS-induced tissue and systemic inflammation
IntroductionInterleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the IL-1 Family, is a key mediator ofautoinflammatory diseases associated with the development of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).High levels of IL-18 correlate with MAS ...
