Cytokine responses to Schistosoma haematobium in a Zimbabwean population: contrasting profiles for IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10 with age [PDF]

, 2007
Background The rate of development of parasite-specific immune responses can be studied by following their age profiles in exposed and infected hosts. This study determined the cytokine-age profiles of Zimbabweans resident in a Schistosoma haematobium ...

Dietary supplementation with fructooligosaccharides ameliorates allergy development following DEHP exposure in mice

Food and Agricultural Immunology, 2021
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic supplement, can enhance immunological responses, probably through regulation of gastrointestinal microflora. On the other hand, some environmental pollutants have adjuvanticity against allergic reactions/diseases.

Anti–IL-5 (mepolizumab) therapy reduces eosinophil activation ex vivo and increases IL-5 and IL-5 receptor levels [PDF]

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2008
Anti-IL-5 might be a useful therapeutic agent for eosinophilic disorders, yet its immunologic consequences have not been well characterized.We sought to characterize the hematologic and immunologic effects of anti-IL-5 in human subjects.The effects of 3-month infusions of mepolizumab were assessed in 25 patients with a variety of eosinophilic syndromes.

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 ...

The Role of Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in the Pathogenesis of Eosinophilic Asthma

Cells, 2023
Asthma is a chronic complex pulmonary disease characterized by airway inflammation, remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) are two significant mediators involved in the ...

Anti-il-5 in pediatric allergic diseases [PDF]

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 2020
Interleukin (IL)-5 is a potent mediator of the inflammatory cascade in the allergic response.Its predominant role in atopic reactions makes this cytokine an ideal target for blocking the eosinophilic inflammatory hyper-responsiveness to allergens.
