Mucosal interleukin-21 mRNA expression level is high in patients with Helicobacter pylori and is associated with the severity of gastritis [PDF]
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with gastritis and marked infiltration of the gastric mucosa by several cytokines secreting inflammatory cells. Different clinical forms of the infection may reflect distinctive patterns of cytokine

Pathogenic role of interleukin-21 in psoriasis [PDF]
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by keratinocyte hyperplasia and dermal infiltration with inflammatory cells. Driving factors the epidermal hyperplasia in psoriasis are not fully understood, but there is evidence that T cell-derived cytokines can be involved. In this article, we focus on the recent data indicating a

Trafficking phenotype and production of granzyme B by double negative B cells (IgG(+)IgD(-)CD27(-)) in the elderly. [PDF]
The impairment of humoral immune response in elderly humans has been extensively demonstrated. We have reported the increase of memory B cells (IgG+IgD−CD27−, double negative, DN) population in the elderly, in which there is also a typical inflammatory ...

Interleukin 21 Enhances Antibody-Mediated Tumor Rejection [PDF]
Abstract Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine with structural and sequence homology to IL-2 and IL-15 that has antitumor activity alone in mouse experimental tumor models and a tolerable safety profile in phase I trials in patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. Several monoclonal antibodies (mAb) targeted at tumor-

Early Investigations and Recent Advances in Intraperitoneal Immunotherapy for Peritoneal Metastasis. [PDF]
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is an advanced stage malignancy largely refractory to modern therapy. Intraperitoneal (IP) immunotherapy offers a novel approach for the control of regional disease of the peritoneal cavity by breaking immune tolerance.
