Ancient Cytokine Interleukin 15-Like (IL-15L) Induces a Type 2 Immune Response
Related interleukin-2, -15, and -15-like (IL-2, -15, and -15L) are ancient cytokines, with all three genes surviving in extant fish and some mammals. The present study is the first to identify IL-15L functions, namely in rainbow trout.

Decreased Interleukin-4 Release from the Neurons of the Locus Coeruleus in Response to Immobilization Stress [PDF]
It has been demonstrated that immobilization (IMO) stress affects neuroimmune systems followed by alterations of physiology and behavior. Interleukin-4 (IL-4), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, is known to regulate inflammation caused by immune challenge ...

Differential cytokine profiles upon comparing selective versus classic glucocorticoid receptor modulation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and inferior turbinate tissue. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Glucocorticoid Receptor agonists, particularly classic glucocorticoids, are the mainstay among treatment protocols for various chronic inflammatory disorders, including nasal disease.

IL-15 sustains IL-7R-independent ILC2 and ILC3 development [PDF]
The signals that maintain tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILC) in different microenvironments are incompletely understood. Here we show that IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) is not strictly required for the development of any ILC subset, as residual cells ...

Constitutive expression of high affinity interleukin 2 receptors on human CD16-natural killer cells in vivo. [PDF]
The majority of human NK cells express low affinity IgG Fc receptors (CD16+), whereas a minor subset of NK cells lack Fc receptor expression (CD16-). In contrast to CD16+ NK cells that express only p75 IL-2 receptors, CD16- NK cells constitutively co ...

Qualitatively Different T Cell Phenotypic Responses to IL-2 versus IL-15 Are Unified by Identical Dependences on Receptor Signal Strength and Duration [PDF]
IL-2 and IL-15 are common γ-chain family cytokines involved in regulation of T cell differentiation and homeostasis. Despite signaling through the same receptors, IL-2 and IL-15 have non-redundant roles in T cell biology, both physiologically and at the ...

Summary: IL-7 receptor signaling is essential for the generation and maintenance of conventional T cells. Immunosuppressive Foxp3+ Treg cells, however, express uniquely low amounts of the IL-7-proprietary IL-7Rα so that they are impaired in IL-7 ...

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) signals influence various lymphocyte subsets during differentiation, immune responses and homeostasis. IL-2 acts on different cells by binding to its receptors (IL-2R), which consists of three subunits, IL-2Rα (CD25), IL-2Rβ (CD122),

Long COVID, also referred to as Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC), is probably triggered during SARS-CoV-2 infection and acute COVID-19 by SARS-CoV-2 Spike-protein binding and hyper-activating the cell-membrane expressed Receptor for Advance Glycation ...

Increased accuracy of ligand sensing by receptor diffusion on cell surface [PDF]
The physical limit with which a cell senses external ligand concentration corresponds to the perfect absorber, where all ligand particles are absorbed and overcounting of same ligand particles does not occur. Here we analyze how the lateral diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane affects the accuracy of sensing ligand concentration.
