Interleukin-21 and its association with chronic periodontitis.
Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a pleiotropic cytokine, well documented to contribute to the development of Th17 cells which have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Periodontal disease is a chronic infection of tooth-supporting tissue.This study evaluates the saliva and serum levels of IL-21 in patients with chronic ...

Regulation of the germinal center and humoral immunity by interleukin-21. [PDF]
Here we review the critical and non-redundant functions of IL-21 in regulating humoral immune responses. We particularly focus on studies in natura—from individuals from inborn errors of immunity that impact on IL-21 production and/or function.

Interleukin-21 induces migration and invasion of fibroblast-like synoviocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by synovial fibroblast hyperplasia and bone erosion. Fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) play a pivotal role in RA pathogenesis through aggressive migration and matrix invasion, and
