Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) signalling complex in human solid tumours. [PDF]
Interleukin-7 (IL-7) plays an important role in the normal development and maintenance of the human immune system. Its effects are mediated via its receptor, IL-7R. Ligand-receptor engagement results in a cascade of phosphorylation events mediated by various molecules including the Janus kinases (Jak1 and Jak3), PI3-kinase, Stats (signal transducers ...

Il-7/Il-7 Receptor System Regulation following Il-2 Immunotherapy in HIV-Infected Patients
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-7 are the most intriguing molecules in immune-based HIV infection treatment. An in vitro IL-2/IL-7 cross-talk due to IL-2-driven IL-7 receptor-α-chain (IL-7Rα) down-modulation, potentially blocking IL-7 signalling has been described.

Rescue of Murine IL-7 Receptor Deficiency with Human IL-7 Receptor Gene Therapy
Abstract In humans, interleukin 7 (IL-7) receptor (IL-7R) deficiency causes approximately 10% of cases of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). IL-7R deficient SCID is a T-B+NK+ SCID and is caused by autosomal recessive deficiency of the IL-7R alpha chain gene (IL7R).

Differential Regulation of Human IL-7 Receptor α Expression by IL-7 and TCR Signaling [PDF]
Abstract IL-7Rα is essential for the development and homeostatic maintenance of mature T cells. Studies in humans and mice have shown that IL-7Rα expression is reduced by its cognate cytokine, IL-7, and Ag, suggesting that active regulation of IL-7 responsiveness is necessary to balance T cell numbers.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins (SP) can bind to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC) and trigger an inflammatory process.

An Enhancer of the IL-7 Receptor α-Chain Locus Controls IL-7 Receptor Expression and Maintenance of Peripheral T Cells [PDF]
Abstract The IL-7R plays critical roles in lymphocyte development and homeostasis. Although IL-7R expression is strictly regulated during lymphocyte differentiation and the immune response, little is known regarding its in vivo regulation.

Modulation of Signaling Mediated by TSLP and IL-7 in Inflammation, Autoimmune Diseases, and Cancer
Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) and Interleukin-7 (IL-7) are widely studied cytokines within distinct branches of immunology. On one hand, TSLP is crucially important for mediating type 2 immunity at barrier surfaces and has been linked to widespread

The Broad Immunomodulatory Effects of IL-7 and Its Application In Vaccines
Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is produced by stromal cells, keratinocytes, and epithelial cells in host tissues or tumors and exerts a wide range of immune effects mediated by the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R).

Characterization of lymphoid tissue inducer cells and lymphoid tissue development in adult interleukin 7 transgenic mice [PDF]
During embryogenesis, the development of secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) such as lymph nodes (LNs) and Peyer’s patches (PPs) requires the cellular crosstalk between vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1+ mesenchymal organizer cells and CD45+CD4 ...

The human IL-7 receptor gene: deletions, polymorphisms and mutations. [PDF]
Most T cell subsets depend on IL-7 for survival. IL-7 binds to IL-7Rα and γc, initiating the signaling cascade. Deletion of IL-7Ra in humans has, for some time, been known to cause severe combined immunodeficiency. More recently, polymorphisms in IL-7R have been shown be a risk factor for a number of diseases that are autoimmune or involve excess ...
