Blockade of the interleukin‐21/interleukin‐21 receptor pathway ameliorates disease in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveInterleukin‐21 (IL‐21) is a T cell–derived cytokine that modulates T cell, B cell, and natural killer cell responses. In this study, the effects of blocking IL‐21 were examined in 2 rodent models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to determine whether IL‐21 contributes to their pathologic processes.MethodsDBA/1 mice were immunized with ...

To respond or not to respond - a personal perspective of intestinal tolerance [PDF]
For many years, the intestine was one of the poor relations of the immunology world, being a realm inhabited mostly by specialists and those interested in unusual phenomena.

Raman spectroscopic detection of interleukin-10 and angiotensin converting enzyme
In this report we present a confocal Raman system to identify the unique spectral features of two proteins, Interleukin-10 and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme. Characteristic Raman spectra were successfully acquired and identified for the first time to our

Potential immunosuppressive effects of Escherichia coli O157:H7 experimental infection on the bovine host [PDF]
Background: Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), like E. coli O157:H7 are frequently detected in bovine faecal samples at slaughter. Cattle do not show clinical symptoms upon infection, but for humans the consequences after consuming contaminated ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Interleukin-21 accelerates thymic recovery from glucocorticoïd-induced atrophy. [PDF]
Both physiological and psychological stress cause thymic atrophy via glucocorticoïd (GC)-dependent apoptosis of double-positive (DP) thymocytes. Given the pervasiveness of stress, GC-induced thymic atrophy is arguably the most common type of acquired ...

Crohn's disease: Th1, Th17 or both? The change of a paradigm: new immunological and genetic insights implicate Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease [PDF]
Traditionally, Crohn's disease has been associated with a Th1 cytokine profile, while Th2 cytokines are modulators of ulcerative colitis. This concept has been challenged by the description of tolerising regulatory T cells (Treg) and by proinflammatory ...
