Differential regulation of interleukin-17 and interferon-y production in inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]
PhDBackground and Aims. Interleukin (IL)-17 is now known to be involved in a number of chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating its production in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are still unclear. Methods.

Polymorphisms of interleukin-21 and interleukin-21-receptor genes confer risk for autoimmune thyroid diseases [PDF]
The abnormality of interleukin-21 (IL-21)-IL-21-receptor (IL-21R) system has been found in many autoimmune diseases including autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs). In this study, we investigated whether polymorphisms of the IL-21 and IL-21R are associated with Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), two major forms of AITDs, among a ...

Interleukin-21 Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Kawasaki Disease [PDF]
Interleukin-21 receptor (IL-21R) gene polymorphism is related with the development of systemic vasculitis. In this study, we investigated the polymorphisms of IL-21R gene in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD).We genotyped the promoter region of IL-21R gene (-2500 bp to +1 bp) in 100 patients with KD and 100 healthy controls.

Expression of interleukin‐21 receptor in epidermis from patients with systemic sclerosis [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveTo examine the expression and regulation of interleukin‐21 (IL‐21) and IL‐21 receptor (IL‐21R) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma).MethodsSkin biopsy specimens were obtained from 23 patients with SSc and 15 healthy controls.

Blockade of the interleukin‐21/interleukin‐21 receptor pathway ameliorates disease in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveInterleukin‐21 (IL‐21) is a T cell–derived cytokine that modulates T cell, B cell, and natural killer cell responses. In this study, the effects of blocking IL‐21 were examined in 2 rodent models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to determine whether IL‐21 contributes to their pathologic processes.MethodsDBA/1 mice were immunized with ...

Expression of interleukin‐21 receptor, but not interleukin‐21, in synovial fibroblasts and synovial macrophages of patients with rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveTo determine the role and expression of the cytokine/receptor pair interleukin‐21 (IL‐21)/IL‐21 receptor (IL‐21R) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsThe expression of IL‐21R and IL‐21 was analyzed by TaqMan real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization of synovial biopsy samples from patients with RA and ...

Vaccinia virus protein A46R targets multiple Toll-like-interleukin-1 receptor adaptors and contributes to virulence [PDF]
Viral immune evasion strategies target key aspects of the host antiviral response. Recently, it has been recognized that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have a role in innate defense against viruses.

Characterisation of bovine leukocyte Ig-like receptors [PDF]
Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILR) are innate immune receptors involved in regulating both innate and adaptive immune functions. LILR show more interspecies conservation than the closely related Killer Ig-like receptors, and homologues have ...
