IL-13/IL-13 Receptor Interaction, an Emerging Therapeutic Target in Allergic Disease
ABSTRACTInterleukin (IL)-13 is a Th-2 cytokine, known to be involved in allergic diseases. Although IL-13 and another Th- 2 cytokine, IL-4, share receptors and signal pathways, having similar biological properties, the critical role of IL- 13 alone in vivo in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma has recently been recognized, based mainly on analyses of

Interleukins 4 and 13 in Asthma: Key Pathophysiologic Cytokines and Druggable Molecular Targets
Interleukins (IL)-4 and -13 play a pivotal role in the pathobiology of type-2 asthma. Indeed, IL-4 is crucially involved in Th2 cell differentiation, immunoglobulin (Ig) class switching and eosinophil trafficking.

CD4(+)IL-13(+) cells in peripheral blood well correlates with the severity of atopic dermatitis in children [PDF]
In atopic dermatitis (AD) a Th1/Th2 imbalance has been reported, and interleukin (IL)-13 seems to play a pivotal role in the inflammatory network. We tried to assess the correlation between the immunological marker CD4(+)IL-13(+) and the clinical phase ...

Human TH17 cells express a functional IL-13 receptor and IL-13 attenuates IL-17A production [PDF]
IL-13 is a central mediator of airway responsiveness and mucus expression in patients with allergic airway inflammation, and IL-13 is currently a therapeutic target for asthma. However, little is known about how IL-13 regulates human CD4(+) T-cell lineages because IL-13 receptor (IL-13R) α1, a subunit of IL-13R, has not previously been reported to ...

Exosomes from Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Epidermal Barrier Repair by Inducing de Novo Synthesis of Ceramides in Atopic Dermatitis. [PDF]
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial, heterogeneous disease associated with epidermal barrier disruption and intense systemic inflammation. Previously, we showed that exosomes derived from human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC ...

ABSTRACT A second allogeneic (allo‐)hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT2) is a potential curative option for pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) following relapse after first allogeneic transplantation (HSCT1), but its efficacy is limited by high relapse rates and transplant‐related toxicity in highly pretreated ...

IL-13 Antibodies Influence IL-13 Clearance in Humans by Modulating Scavenger Activity of IL-13Rα2 [PDF]
Abstract Human studies using Abs to two different, nonoverlapping epitopes of IL-13 suggested that epitope specificity can have a clinically significant impact on clearance of IL-13. We propose that Ab modulation of IL-13 interaction with IL-13Rα2 underlies this effect. Two Abs were administered to healthy subjects and mild asthmatics in

Development of reagents to study the turkey's immune response:cloning and characterisation of two turkey cytokines, interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-13 [PDF]
The cDNAs of two turkey cytokines, interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-13, were cloned using oligonucleotide primers designed from their chicken orthologues. The coding regions of the chicken and turkey genes are highly conserved, with IL-10 and IL-13 exhibiting ...
