Interleukin-13 Is Unlucky for Allergy Sufferers [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2019
Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, is dependent on high affinity allergen-specific IgE. Gowthaman et al. now show that a new interleukin (IL)-13-expressing T helper cell subset specifically promotes high-affinity IgE responses. The discovery of T follicular helper (Tfh)13 cells defines potential new targets for allergy therapies.

Anti-interleukin-13 and anti-interleukin-4 agents versus placebo, anti-interleukin-5 or anti-immunoglobulin-E agents, for people with asthma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Background: Targeting the immunoglobulin E pathway and the interleukin-5 pathway with specific monoclonal antibodies directed against the cytokines or their receptors is effective in patients with severe asthma.

Characterization of the Interaction between Interleukin-13 and Interleukin-13 Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Interleukin-13 (IL-13) possesses two types of receptor: the heterodimer, composed of the IL-13Ralpha1 chain (IL-13Ralpha1) and the IL-4Ralpha chain (IL-4Ralpha), transducing the IL-13 signals; and the IL-13Ralpha2 chain (IL-13Ralpha2), acting as a nonsignaling "decoy" receptor.

Anti-interleukin-13 and anti-interleukin-4 agents versus placebo, anti-interleukin-5 or anti-immunoglobulin-E agents, for children and adults with asthma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the efficacy and safety of anti-interleukin-13 or anti-interleukin-4 agents, compared with placebo, anti-Immunoglobulin E agents, or anti-interleukin-5 ...

Mutants of Interleukin 13 with Altered Reactivity toward Interleukin 13 Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Interleukin 13 (IL13) belongs to a family of cytokines whose members exhibit structural homology, despite amino acid sequence dissimilarity. For example, while of limited sequence homology, IL13 and IL4 share a signaling receptor, IL13/4 receptor, on a variety of human normal cells. However, a subclass of IL4-independent IL13 receptors is overexpressed

Neuroimmunology of the Interleukins 13 and 4 [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2016
The cytokines interleukin 13 and 4 share a common heterodimeric receptor and are important modulators of peripheral allergic reactions. Produced primarily by T-helper type 2 lymphocytes, they are typically considered as anti-inflammatory cytokines because they can downregulate the synthesis of T-helper type 1 pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Interleukin-18 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a recently described member of the IL-1 cytokine superfamily, is now recognized as an important regulator of innate and acquired immune responses.

Interleukin-4 receptor alpha gene variants and allergic disease

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2000
The interleukin-4 (IL-4) signalling cascade has been identified as a pathway potentially important in the development of asthma. Genetic variants within this signalling pathway might contribute to the risk of developing asthma in a given individual.

Interleukin-6 receptor pathways in coronary heart disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 82 studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Persistent inflammation has been proposed to contribute to various stages in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R) signalling propagates downstream inflammation cascades.

Highlighting allelic variations at the interleukin-19 locus in term of preeclampsia predisposing factors and access to an accurate diagnostic/screening option

open access: yesBMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2023
Background Preeclampsia is the main cause of preterm parturition and maternal–fetal complications. T helper 1 and T helper 2 cytokines balance is a requirement in normal pregnancy and aberrant in this immunologic balance, play an important role in the ...
