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 ...

Tuning the Cytokine Responses: An Update on Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 Receptor Complexes
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are related cytokines that regulate many aspects of allergic inflammation. They play important roles in regulating the responses of lymphocytes, myeloid cells, and non-hematopoietic cells.

Alternatively activated macrophages promote pancreatic fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis. [PDF]
, 2015 Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive and irreversible inflammatory and fibrotic disease with no cure. Unlike acute pancreatitis (AP), we find that alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) are dominant in mouse and human CP.

Marking IL-4-producing cells by knock-in of the IL-4 gene [PDF]
International Immunology, 1999 IL-4 is a cytokine which can be expressed by a number of cell types including Th2 cells, mast cells and a population of CD4+ NK1.1+ NK T cells. Although phenotypic markers exist for identifying each of these cell types, there is at present no known cell surface marker common to all IL-4-producing cells.

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1999 IL-4 plays an important role in regulating immune responses. Distinct signaling pathways, including those for gene activation and cell differentiation and those for cell proliferation and protection from apoptosis, are initiated from the receptor complex for IL-4 following ligand-receptor engagement. Several advances have been made in our understanding

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.
