Interleukin-4 and interleukin-4 receptor gene polymorphisms in inflammatory bowel diseases [PDF]
Imbalances in the regulation of Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes are crucial in inflammatory bowel diseases. Interleukin-4 is secreted by Th2 lymphocytes and downregulates cytokine production from Th1 lymphocytes. Functionally relevant polymorphisms have been described in the interleukin-4 and the interleukin-4 receptor alpha genes.

Human basophils express interleukin-4 receptors [PDF]
Abstract Interleukin-4 (IL-4), a multipotential lymphokine reputed to play an important role in the regulation of immune responses, interacts with a variety of hemopoietic target cells through specific cell surface membrane receptors. The present study was designed to investigate whether human basophils express IL-4 binding sites.

Cytoplasmic tail of IL-13Ralpha2 regulates IL-4 signal transduction [PDF]
IL (interleukin)-4 and IL-13 are key cytokines in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammatory disease. IL-4 and IL-13 share many functional properties as a result of their utilization of a common receptor complex comprising IL-13Ralpha1 (IL-13 receptor ...

Stoichiometry of the complex of human interleukin‐4 with its receptor [PDF]
A large number of cytokines have been shown to possess a four‐helix bundle structure with a unique up‐up‐down‐down connectivity. The receptors for this family of cytokines have been shown to be homologous as well, each possessing two tandem repeats of a fibronectin type III‐like domain. The crystal structure of human growth hormone bound to the soluble
