Human microglial cells express a functional IL-12 receptor and produce IL-12 following IL-12 stimulation [PDF]
Microglial cells (MC) are IL-12 producers in the central nervous system. Here, we found that IL-12 receptor subunits beta1 and beta2 were both constitutively expressed, and up-regulated by IFN-gamma, in human primary MC. IL-12p70, after binding to its receptor, is internalized into vesicles that qualify as early endosomes as indicated by intracellular ...

IL-12 receptor regulation in IL-12-deficient BALB / c and C57BL / 6 mice [PDF]
Immunization with protein antigen in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) induces Th1 cells in BALB/c and C57BL/6 (B6) mice. Pretreatment with the same protein in soluble form induces Th2 cells in BALB/c but not in B6 mice and inhibits Th1 cell development in both.

Interleukin-12 activates natural killer cells and promotes the differentiation of Th1 CD4+ cells; it is a critical factor in viral immunity. IL-12 is secreted by antigen presenting cells including dendritic cells, macrophages and astrocytes, both in tissues and in secondary lymphoid organs.

Communication and Language Profiles of Children Treated for Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive and language deficits are frequently reported sequelae of posterior fossa brain tumors (PFBT). Typically, delayed onset impedes prompt assessment and early intervention. This has devastating implications for quality of life.

ABSTRACT Introduction Characterizing stressful events reported by childhood cancer survivors experienced throughout the lifespan may help improve trauma‐informed care relevant to the survivor experience. Methods Participants included 2552 survivors (54% female; 34 years of age) and 469 community controls (62% female; 33 years of age) from the St.

ABSTRACT Asymptomatic infection poses a significant risk for children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Pre‐transplant surveillance computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to identify occult infection, though its diagnostic yield remains uncertain.

Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive hemoglobinopathy affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The clinical expression and psychosocial burden of SCD vary widely across geographical, cultural, and healthcare system contexts, underscoring the need for setting‐specific approaches to assessment.

ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in early childhood. Its clinical behavior is highly variable, ranging from spontaneous regression to fatal outcome despite intensive treatment. The International Society of Pediatric Oncology Europe Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Specialty Committees ...

As its first identified member, Interleukin-12 (IL-12) named a whole family of cytokines. In response to pathogens, the heterodimeric protein, consisting of the two subunits p35 and p40, is secreted by phagocytic cells. Binding of IL-12 to the IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) on T and natural killer (NK) cells leads to signaling via signal transducer and ...
