Relevance of Fcγ Receptor and Interleukin‐10 Polymorphisms for Meningococcal Disease [PDF]
The contribution of individual Fcgamma receptor (FcgammaR) subclasses to meningococcal phagocytosis was studied. In addition, functional FcgammaR polymorphisms were determined in 50 patients with meningococcal disease (MD), in 183 first-degree relatives of MD patients, and in 239 healthy control subjects, to study the association of FcgammaR genotypes ...

Human interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a dimeric and pleiotropic cytokine that plays a crucial role in cellular immunoregulatory responses. As IL-10 binds to its receptors, IL-10Ra and IL-10Rb, it will suppress or induce the downstream cellular immune responses to protect from diseases.In this study, a potential peptide derived from IL-10 based on molecular ...

Implication of the Transmembrane Domain in the Interleukin 10 Receptor Platform Oligomerisation
Interleukin 10 (IL-10) exerts anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory roles through its fixation to the IL-10 receptor (IL-10R). The two subunits (IL-10Rα and IL-10Rβ) organise themselves to form a hetero-tetramer to induce the activation of the transcription factor STAT3.

Alexithymia and interleukin variations in somatoform disorder [PDF]
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate if somatoform disorders (SFD) are associated with changes in the normal serum levels of important interleukins, and further, to establish if these changes are related to the presence and severity

Functional Regions of the Mouse Interleukin-10 Receptor Cytoplasmic Domain [PDF]
The functions of wild-type and mutant mouse interleukin-10 receptors (mIL-10R) expressed in murine Ba/F3 cells were studied. As observed previously, IL-10 stimulates proliferation of IL-10R-expressing Ba/F3 cells. Accumulation of viable cells in the proliferation assay is to a significant extent balanced by concomitant cell death.

Nanometer-scale organization of the alpha subunits of the receptors for IL2 and IL15 in human T lymphoma cells [PDF]
Interleukin 2 and interleukin 15 (IL2 and IL15, respectively) provide quite distinct contributions to T-cell-mediated immunity, despite having similar receptor composition and signaling machinery.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Mutations Affecting the Interleukin-10 Receptor [PDF]
The molecular cause of inflammatory bowel disease is largely unknown.We performed genetic-linkage analysis and candidate-gene sequencing on samples from two unrelated consanguineous families with children who were affected by early-onset inflammatory bowel disease.

Interleukin-22 predicts severity and death in advanced liver cirrhosis: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Background: Interleukin-22 (IL-22), recently identified as a crucial parameter of pathology in experimental liver damage, may determine survival in clinical end-stage liver disease.
