Regulation of Interleukin-12 by Complement Receptor 3 Signaling [PDF]
Complement receptor type 3 (CR3, CD11b/CD18) serves as a receptor for a number of endogenous ligands and infectious organisms, and is involved in adhesion and host defense functions. Here, we report that signaling via CR3 plays an important role in regulating production of interleukin-12 (IL-12), a key mediator of cell-mediated immunity (CMI).

Recurrent Salmonella Bacteremia in Interleukin-12 Receptor β1 Deficiency [PDF]
Interleukin-12 receptor beta1 IL12RB1 deficiency causes vulnerability to poorly virulent mycobacteria and nontyphoid Salmonella species. We describe a 2.5 year-old girl with IL12RB1 deficiency, caused by a homozygous mutation in this gene, who presented with recurrent bacteremia caused by Salmonella spp.

Interleukin‐12 Receptor β1 Deficiency in a Patient with Abdominal Tuberculosis [PDF]
Two siblings with interleukin-12 receptor beta1 (IL-12Rbeta1) deficiency but different clinical phenotypes were studied. Both are homozygous for an IL12RB1 missense mutation that prevents receptor expression and abolishes cellular responses to IL-12.

Interleukin-12 Receptor 1 Deficiency Predisposing to Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis [PDF]
Severe disseminated Coccidioides is rare while localized, contained disease is common. We report a family with disseminated coccidioidomycosis due to a novel homozygous C186Y mutation in interleukin (IL)-12 receptor β1. This family confirms the centrality of the IL-12/IFN-γ axis to human immunity to Coccidioides spp.

Reduction of circulating cholesterol and apolipoprotein levels during sepsis [PDF]
Sepsis with multiple organ failure is frequently associated with a substantial decrease of cholesterol levels. This decrease of cholesterol is strongly associated with mortality suggesting a direct relation between inflammatory conditions and altered ...

Cytokines of Birds: Conserved Functions [PDF]
Targeted disruptions of the mouse genes for cytokines, cytokine receptors, or components of cytokine signaling cascades convincingly revealed the important roles of these molecules in immunologic processes. Cytokines are used at present as drugs to fight

Dysregulation of Lymphocyte Interleukin-12 Receptor Expression in Sézary Syndrome [PDF]
Initial phase I and II clinical trials with recombinant human interleukin-12 have demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of this cytokine in early stage cutaneous T cell lymphoma as compared with more advanced stages such as the leukemic Sézary syndrome.

The interleukin-12 and interleukin-12 receptor system in normal and transformed human B lymphocytes.
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine that induces interferon-g (IFN-g) production by natural killer and T-lymphocytes. IL-12 also activates human B-cells through the IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) complex. Here we review the expression and function of IL-12 and IL-12R in human B-cells and in their malignant counterparts.The information provided ...
