Virus encoded cytokines and cytokine receptors
Parasitology, 1997 In order to replicate efficiently within the host, viruses have evolved multiple strategies to evade the host's immune system. In many cases viruses have actually hijacked various components of the host's immune system to ensure their own survival. One such strategy is the expression of virus encoded cytokines and cytokine receptors. Members of

, 2004 Members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family play key roles in the regulation of inflammation, immune responses and tissue homeostasis. Here we describe the identification of the chicken homologue of mammalian B cell activating factor of the TNF ...

Cytokine production and signaling pathways in respiratory virus infection
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 It has been confirmed that respiratory virus infections can induce abberant cytokine production in the host. These cytokines may be associated with both elimination of the virus and complications in the host, such as virus-induced asthma.

Protein Palmitoylation in Leukocyte Signaling and Function
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Palmitoylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) based on thioester-linkage between palmitic acid and the cysteine residue of a protein. This covalent attachment of palmitate is reversibly and dynamically regulated by two opposing sets of ...

Biosensing Cytokine IL-6: A Comparative Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Receptors
Biosensors, 2020 Cytokines are a family of proteins which play a major role in the regulation of the immune system and the development of several diseases, from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer and, more recently, COVID-19.

Single-chain tandem macrocyclic peptides as a scaffold for growth factor and cytokine mimetics
Communications Biology, 2022 Peptides composed of two or more tandemly linked macrocyclic peptides binding to growth factor/cytokine receptors (STaMPtides) are useful growth factor/cytokine mimetics.

F1000Research, 2018 Poxviruses encode a set of secreted proteins that bind cytokines and chemokines as a strategy to modulate host defense mechanisms. These viral proteins mimic the activity of host cytokine decoy receptors but have unique properties that may enhance their ...

Cytokines as cellular communicators
Mediators of Inflammation, 1996 Cytokines and their receptors are involved in the pathophysiology of many diseases. Here we present a detailed review on cytokines, receptors and signalling routes, and show that one important lesson from cytokine biology is the complex and diverse ...

Beneficial Effects of Gosha-jinki-gan and Green Tea Extract in Rats With Chemical Cystitis
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013 The aim of this study was to characterize pharmacological effects of gosha-jinki-gan (GJG) and green tea extract (GTE), on urodynamic parameters, bladder receptors, and urinary cytokines in rats with cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis.

Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B regulates prostaglandin E-2 synthesis, growth, and migration in nasal tissue fibroblasts [PDF]
, 2008 Background. Superantigens and eicosanoids are important amplifiers and regulators of inflammation in airway diseases. We therefore studied the possible influence of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B ( SEB) on the cyclooxygenase ( COX) pathway and basic
