BALB/c mice deficient in CD4(+) T cell IL-4R alpha expression control Leishmania mexicana load although female but not male mice develop a healer phenotype [PDF]

, 2011
Immunologically intact BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania mexicana develop non-healing progressively growing lesions associated with a biased Th2 response while similarly infected IL-4R alpha-deficient mice fail to develop lesions and develop a robust ...

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 ...

STF‐IL‐4: a novel IL‐4‐induced signal transducing factor. [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1994
The mechanism by which interleukin-4 (IL-4) regulates the expression of particular genes is unknown. We have determined that IL-4 induces a DNA binding factor (termed STF-IL-4) which has a strong affinity for an IFN-gamma activation site (GAS). Interestingly, STF-IL-4 also binds to the IL-4 responsive promoter for the Ig heavy chain germline epsilon ...

Involvement of IL-4 in human glomerulonephritis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1997
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been recently implicated in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis. However, the expression of IL-4 and IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) in human kidney has not been fully determined. Nonradioactive in situ hybridization was used to examine the expression of IL-4 mRNA and IL-4R mRNA in tissues from normal kidneys and specimens from a ...

Association between IL-4 genotype and IL-4 production in the Japanese population [PDF]

Genes & Immunity, 2002
We have identified that there are only two IL-4 gene haplotypes (I and II) in the Japanese population. There are significant differences among three genotypes (I/I, I/II and II/II) in the IL-4 producing proportion of peripheral Th cells using intracellular cytokine detection assay.

Human CD4+ Memory T Cells Can Become CD4+IL-9+ T Cells [PDF]

, 2010
Background: IL-9 is a growth factor for T- and mast-cells that is secreted by human Th2 cells. We recently reported that IL-4+TGF-β directs mouse CD4+CD25−CD62L+ T cells to commit to inflammatory IL-9 producing CD4+ T cells.
