T lymphocytes from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis produce reduced amounts of lymphotoxin, tumor necrosis factor and interferon-gamma upon mitogen stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is considered an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of small intrahepatic bile ducts by lymphocytes. Altered functions of these lymphocytes might reflect an abnormal immune response leading to tissue damage ...

Opposite effects of interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 on nitric oxide production in murine macrophages

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 1996
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the production of nitric oxide (NO) by interferon-γ (IFN-γ)- or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine macrophages (RAW 264.7 and J774.2).
