Proteolytic Cleavage of CD25, the α Subunit of the Human T Cell Interleukin 2 Receptor, by Der p 1, a Major Mite Allergen with Cysteine Protease Activity [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1998
Recent reports have indicated that the cysteine protease activity of Der p 1 may play a significant role in its ability to elicit IgE antibody responses, mainly through cleavage of membrane CD23 on B cells and interleukin (IL)-4 synthesis and secretion from mast cells and basophils. Here we demonstrate for the first time that Der p 1 also cleaves the α

Functional and physical association of a cell surface phospholipid and interleukin-2 receptor p55(α) subunits

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1998
A phosphatidylcholine-like phospholipid expressed in the outer leaflet of the cell membrane shortly after mitogenic activation of T-cells is described, based on the binding of monoclonal antibody 90. 60.3. Expression of the 90.60.3 phospholipid antigen in T-cells is activation-dependent.

Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of IL4-Rα Monoclonal Antibody AK120 in Both Healthy and Atopic Dermatitis Subjects: A Phase I, Randomized, Two-Part, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalation, First-In-Human Clinical Study

open access: yesDermatology and Therapy, 2023
Introduction Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) are two essential cytokines involved in the T helper 2 (Th2)-mediated inflammatory response to diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD).

Disruption of Interleukin-1β Autocrine Signaling Rescues Complex I Activity and Improves ROS Levels in Immortalized Epithelial Cells with Impaired Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have elevated concentration of cytokines in sputum and a general inflammatory condition. In addition, CF cells in culture produce diverse cytokines in excess, including IL-1B. We have previously shown that IL-1B, at low

Evidence for gliadin antibodies as causative agents in schizophrenia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Antibodies to gliadin, a component of gluten, have frequently been reported in schizophrenia. Highly immunogenic B cell epitopes along its length are homologous to numerous proteins relevant to schizophrenia, including members of the DISC1 interactome ...

Exploring causal associations between interleukins, their receptors, and acute respiratory distress syndrome: a bidirectional-Mendelian Randomization study

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
BackgroundAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition posing significant health risks. Observational studies have indicated a potential linkage between ARDS and various interleukins, such as Interleukin-8, −2, −6, and −1β ...

Interleukin-2 and subunit alpha of its soluble receptor in autoimmune Addison's disease – An association study and expression analysis

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2014
Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) results from T cell-mediated destruction of the adrenal cortex, commonly accompanied by autoantibodies to 21-hydroxylase (21OH). In order to gain insight into the obscure aetiology of this disease, we investigated the roles of the IL2 and IL2RA genes, encoding interleukin-2 and subunit alpha of its receptor (IL2Ra ...

Neocortical tissue recovery in severe congenital obstructive hydrocephalus after intraventricular administration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BACKGROUND: In obstructive congenital hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid accumulation is associated with high intracranial pressure and the presence of periventricular edema, ischemia/hypoxia, damage of the white matter, and glial reactions in the ...
