Pathogenic Effector Th2 Cells in Allergic Eosinophilic Inflammatory Disease
There is an absolute requirement for Th2 cells in the pathogenesis of allergen-driven eosinophil-rich type 2 inflammation. Although Th2 cells are generally regarded as a homogeneous population, in the past decade there has been increasing evidence for a ...

Reslizumab in patients with inadequately controlled late-onset asthma and elevated blood eosinophils [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Asthma with adult onset and elevated blood eosinophils is a difficult-to-treat subgroup. This post hoc analysis evaluated reslizumab, an anti-interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody, in patients with late-onset eosinophilic asthma.

The intestinal expulsion of the roundworm Ascaris suum is associated with eosinophils, intra-epithelial T cells and decreased intestinal transit time [PDF]
Ascaris lumbricoides remains the most common endoparasite in humans, yet there is still very little information available about the immunological principles of protection, especially those directed against larval stages.

Activation of the STAT3/Acute Phase Response Factor Transcription Factor by Interleukin-5 [PDF]
The receptor for interleukin-5 (IL-5R) is composed of a unique a chain (IL-5Ra) expressed on eosinophils and basophils, associated with a bc subunit, which is shared by the receptors for IL-3 and granulocyte macrophagecolony stimulating factor.

ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

Optimization of Interleukin-5 Protein Expression in BL21 Strain of Escherichia Coli
Background: In asthma, the relationship between number of eosinophils and severity of this disease supports the hypothesis that eosinophil is the major effector cell in inflammation of airway. Evolution of eosinophils is regulated by interlukin-5 (IL-5).

Eosinophils Are Important for Protection, Immunoregulation and Pathology during Infection with Nematode Microfilariae [PDF]
Eosinophil responses typify both allergic and parasitic helminth disease. In helminthic disease, the role of eosinophils can be both protective in immune responses and destructive in pathological responses. To investigate whether eosinophils are involved

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 ...

Immune Responses in Human Necatoriasis: Association between Interleukin-5 Responses and Resistance to Reinfection [PDF]
Cytokine and proliferative responses to Necator americanus infection were measured in a treatment-reinfection study of infected subjects from an area of Papua New Guinea where N. americanus is highly endemic.
