Interleukin 4 (IL-4) mediates important pro-inflammatory functions in asthma, including T helper cell type 2 lymphocyte differentiation, induction of IgE production, up-regulation of IgE receptors, expression of vascular cell-adhesion molecule 1, promotion of eosinophil transmigration into the lungs, inhibition of T-lymphocyte apoptosis, and mucus ...

Interleukin-4 and interleukin-4 receptor polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk
European Journal of Cancer, 2007Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) modulate inflammation and are associated with the colorectal adenoma-carcinoma progression and the metastatic capacity. IL-4 also causes a dose-dependent reduction of proliferation in colorectal cancer cells.

Interleukin-4 and interleukin-4 receptor polymorphisms in minimal change nephropathy
Clinical Science, 1999Minimal change nephropathy (MCN) is an important cause of nephrotic syndrome, especially in children, that is strongly associated with atopy and IgE production. The immunogenetics of MCN are poorly understood. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is the critical cytokine involved in the development of atopy.

Interleukin‐4 and the interleukin‐4 receptor in allergic contact dermatitis
Contact Dermatitis, 1998Cutaneous immune responses involving T helper (TH) type 1 (TH1) and type 2 (TH2) T cells, characterised by secretion of interferon‐γ (Ifn‐γ) and interleukin‐4 (IL‐4), respectively, have both been reported in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). We used immunohistochemistry to localize expression of IL‐4 in ACD lesions and unaffected skin.

Interleukin-4 and Interleukin-13 Signaling Connections Maps
Science, 2003Cytokines are inflammatory mediators important in responding to pathogens and other foreign challenges. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 are two cytokines produced by T helper type 2 cells, mast cells, and basophils. In addition to their physiological roles, these cytokines are also implicated in pathological conditions such as asthma and allergy.

Abstract The nucleotide sequences of IL-4 cDNAs cloned from mouse and man (GenBank accession numbers M13238 and M13982) predict a protein of 153 (human) or 140 (mouse) amino acids, each containing a 20-amino-acid leader sequence (Lee et al. 1986; Noma et al. 1986; Yokota et al. 1986).

Differential bioassay of interleukin 2 and interleukin 4
Journal of Immunological Methods, 1987The T cell-derived lymphokines interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 4 (IL-4, originally BSF-1) both exhibit T cell growth-promoting activity. Recent observations that T cell lines commonly used as indicator cells in IL-2 bioassays also proliferate in response to IL-4 demonstrate the lack of specificity of these bioassays for IL-2.

Physiologic roles of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, and interleukin-7
Current Opinion in Hematology, 1996The use of gene targeting techniques has led to new insights into the physiologic function of lymphoid growth factors, their receptors, and associated signal transduction molecules in the formation and function of T and B cells. Mice rendered deficient for the growth factors interleukin-2 or interleukin-4 exhibit impairment in certain immune responses ...
