IL-13R alpha 2 reverses the effects of IL-13 and IL-4 on bronchial reactivity and acetylcholine-induced Ca2+ signaling [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The interleukins IL-4 and IL-13 play a key role in the pathophysiology of asthma. The interleukin receptor IL-13R alpha 2 is believed to act as a decoy receptor, but until now, the functional significance of IL-13R alpha 2 remains vague ...

A novel membrane-bound interleukin-2 promotes NK-92 cell persistence and anti-tumor activity

OncoImmunology, 2022
A major challenge in natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy is the limited persistence of NK cells in vivo. However, the proliferation of NK cells is dependent on cytokines such as interleukin-2 (IL-2).

Purification of the IL-2 Receptor (TAC) by Ligand-Affinity Chromatography and Utilization of the Immobilized Receptor for Receptor-Affinity Chromatography (RAC) Purification of IL-2, Mutant IL-2, and IL-2 Fusion Proteins

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1990
Recombinant technology has facilitated the production of two soluble forms of human p55 interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) in Chinese hamster ovary cells. We have developed a ligand-affinity method for the medium-scale purification of these two soluble forms of the IL-2R, based on the biochemical interactions between the matrix-bound ligand (interleukin-2)

A Requirement for IL-2/IL-2 Receptor Signaling in Intrathymic Negative Selection [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2001
AbstractThe nature of the signals that influence thymocyte selection and determine the fate of CD4+8+ (double positive) thymocytes remains unclear. Cytokines produced locally in the thymus may modulate signals delivered by TCR-MHC/peptide interactions and thereby influence the fate of double-positive thymocytes. Because the IL-2/IL-2R signaling pathway

The role of the novel Th17 cytokine IL-26 in intestinal inflammation [PDF]

, 2008
Background and aims: Interleukin 26 (IL-26), a novel IL-10-like cytokine without a murine homologue, is expressed in T helper 1 (Th1) and Th17 cells. Currently, its function in human disease is completely unknown. The aim of this study was to analyse its

Selenium and vitamin E deficiency impair transferrin receptor internalization but not IL-2, IL-2 receptor, or transferrin receptor expression [PDF]

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1998
Abstract Vitamin E and Se deficiency increase the risk of disease by impairing the immune response. To aid in the understanding of how vitamin E and Se deficiency reduce immune competence, this study examined several mechanisms necessary for lymphocyte proliferation.

Leukotrienes provide an NFAT-dependent signal that synergizes with IL-33 to activate ILC2s. [PDF]

, 2016
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and type 2 helper T cells (Th2 cells) are the primary source of interleukin 5 (IL-5) and IL-13 during type 2 (allergic) inflammation in the lung.

Roles of IL-25 in Type 2 Inflammation and Autoimmune Pathogenesis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Interleukin-17E (IL-25) is a member of the IL-17 cytokine family that includes IL-17A to IL-17F. IL-17 family cytokines play a key role in host defense responses and inflammatory diseases.

Structure and antagonism of the receptor complex mediated by human TSLP in allergy and asthma [PDF]

, 2017
The pro-inflammatory cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is pivotal to the pathophysiology of widespread allergic diseases mediated by type 2 helper T cell (Th2) responses, including asthma and atopic dermatitis. The emergence of human TSLP as a

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) augments transcription of the IL-2 receptor gene. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1985
We demonstrate that purified interleukin 2 (IL-2) can directly upregulate IL-2 receptor expression on phytohemagglutinin-activated T lymphocytes maintained in culture until IL-2 receptor expression had markedly declined. The IL-2-induced increase in IL-2 receptor number is maximal within 12 hr, requires new RNA and protein synthesis, and is mediated by
