Role of Costimulation in the Induction of the IL-12/IL-12 Receptor Pathway and the Development of Autoimmunity [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2000
Abstract Costimulation mediated by the interactions of the B7 Ags (CD80/CD86) on APC with CD28 on the responding T cell regulates the magnitude of the immune response and may influence Th1/Th2 development. The IL-12Rβ2 subunit plays a critical role in maintaining IL-12 responsiveness and controlling Th1 lineage commitment.

Increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhanced T cell responses after activation of human dendritic cells with IL-1 and CD40 ligand

BMC Immunology, 2002
Background Various microbial, inflammatory and immune signals regulate the activation of dendritic cells (DC), determining their ability to interact with naïve T cells and to produce cytokines that direct T cell development. In particular, CD40L and IL-1

IL-12 receptor regulation in IL-12-deficient BALB / c and C57BL / 6 mice [PDF]

European Journal of Immunology, 2000
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.

Retrospective Analysis of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions in Pediatric Patients With Mixed Chimerism After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is an essential therapy for several malignant and nonmalignant diseases, but relapse and graft loss remain the principal threats to its success. Routine monitoring of chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) enables early detection of imminent recurrence and guides ...
