Type I Interferons and Natural Killer Cell Regulation in Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Type I interferons (IFNs) are known to mediate antitumor effects against several tumor types and have therefore been commonly used in clinical anticancer treatment.

Deciphering the Role of Epstein–Barr Virus Latent Membrane Protein 1 in Immune Modulation: A Multifaced Signalling Perspective

open access: yesViruses
The disruption of antiviral sensors and the evasion of immune defences by various tactics are hallmarks of EBV infection. One of the EBV latent gene products, LMP1, was shown to induce the activation of signalling pathways, such as NF-κB, MAPK (JNK, ERK1/

Effect of Acute Heat Stress on the mRNA Levels of Cytokines in Broiler Chickens Subjected to Embryonic Thermal Manipulation

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
Heat stress significantly impacts the immunity and cytokine expression of chickens. However, the effects of embryonic thermal manipulation (TM) on cytokine expression in broiler chickens (broilers) is unclear.

Guarding the frontiers: the biology of type III interferons

open access: yesNature Immunology, 2015
Type III interferons (IFNs) or IFN-λs regulate a similar set of genes as type I IFNs, but whereas type I IFNs act globally, IFN-λs primarily target mucosal epithelial cells and protect them against the frequent viral attacks that are typical for barrier ...

Causality between various cytokines and asthma: a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
BackgroundMany studies have shown that cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma, but their biological effects on asthma remain unclear.

Type-I-interferons in infection and cancer: Unanticipated dynamics with therapeutic implications

open access: yesOncoimmunology, 2017
If there is a great new hope in the treatment of cancer, the immune system is it. Innate and adaptive immunity either promote or attenuate tumorigenesis and so can have opposing effects on the therapeutic outcome.

Threonine Phosphorylation and the Yin and Yang of STAT1: Phosphorylation-Dependent Spectrum of STAT1 Functionality in Inflammatory Contexts

open access: yesCells
Threonine phosphorylation promotes inflammatory functions of STAT1 while restricting its interferon (IFN) signaling in innate immune responses. However, it remains unclear whether the restriction of STAT1-mediated IFN signaling conferred by threonine ...

Interferon to PEG-Interferon: A Review

open access: yesTAJ: Journal of Teachers Association, 1970
The interferons (IFNs) are group of naturally occurring cytokines that are secreted by cells of mammalian immune system when they are stimulated by viral, bacterial and other antigens. There are number of alpha IFNs available for treatment purposes. The two most commonly used α-2a and α-2b are made by recombinant technology. When interferon Alpha-2a is

Optimal Therapy of Hepatitis C Dynamics and Sampling Based Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
We examine two models for hepatitis C viral (HCV) dynamics, one for monotherapy with interferon (IFN) and the other for combination therapy with IFN and ribavirin. Optimal therapy for both the models is determined using the steepest gradient method, by defining an objective functional which minimizes the infected hepatocyte levels, virion population ...
