Th2 cytokines and asthma — The role of interleukin-5 in allergic eosinophilic disease [PDF]
Interleukin-5 is produced by a number of cell types, and is responsible for the maturation and release of eosinophils in the bone marrow. In humans, interleukin-5 is a very selective cytokine as a result of the restricted expression of the interleukin-5 ...

Cooperation between interleukin-5 and the chemokine eotaxin to induce eosinophil accumulation in vivo. [PDF]
Experiments were designed to study the effect of systemically administered IL-5 on local eosinophil accumulation induced by the intradermal injection of the chemokine eotaxin in the guinea pig.

INTERLEUKIN-5 IS A NEW TARGET IN THE TREATMENT OF EOSINOPHILIC GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS
Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is involved in the maturation and activation of eosinophils, its production is increased in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).

B-1 Cell Heterogeneity and the Regulation of Natural and Antigen-Induced IgM Production. [PDF]
A small subset of B cells, termed B-1 cells, with developmental origins, phenotypes, and functions that are distinct from those of conventional B cells exist in mice. It contributes the vast majority of spontaneously produced "natural" IgM.

Staphylococcus aureus controls interleukin-5 release in upper airway inflammation [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is a frequent colonizer of the upper airways in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, but also resides intramucosally, it has been shown that secreted staphylococcal proteins such as enterotoxins and serine proteases induce the ...

Interleukin-5 modulates interleukin-8 secretion in eosinophilic inflammation
Serum and BALF (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) IL-8 levels and serum levels were investigated in Tox ocara canis infected guinea-pigs and the role of IL-5 as a modulator of cytokine secretion was studied.
