Nanometer-scale organization of the alpha subunits of the receptors for IL2 and IL15 in human T lymphoma cells [PDF]
, 2008 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.

Chromosome mapping and expression of the human interleukin-13 receptor
Immunology Letters, 1997 Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a cytokine secreted by activated T cells and shares most but not all biological activities with interleukin-4 (IL-4). Both cytokines play an important role as a switch factor directing synthesis of IgE; they act on monocytes and endothelial cells, but unlike IL-4, IL-13 does not act on T cells. These cytokines have both common

Multiple P2Y receptors couple to calcium-dependent, chloride channels in smooth muscle cells of the rat pulmonary artery [PDF]
, 2005 Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) act via P2Y receptors to evoke contraction of rat pulmonary arteries, whilst adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts via P2X and P2Y receptors.

Oncostatin M suppresses IL31RA expression in dorsal root ganglia and interleukin-31-induced itching
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intermittent itchy rash. Type 2 inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, and IL-31 are strongly implicated in AD pathogenesis.

The Correlation of CD206, CD209, and Disease Severity in Behçet’s Disease with Arthritis
Mediators of Inflammation, 2017 The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of pattern recognition receptors in Behçet’s disease (BD). The frequencies of several pattern recognition receptors (CD11b, CD11c, CD32, CD206, CD209, and dectin-1) were analyzed in patients with BD by ...

New agents for targeting of IL-13RA2 expressed in primary human and canine brain tumors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2 (IL-13RA2) is over-expressed in a vast majority of human patients with high-grade astrocytomas like glioblastoma. Spontaneous astrocytomas in dogs resemble human disease and have been proposed as translational model system
