The role of ST2 and ST2 genetic variants in schistosomiasis [PDF]
Chronic schistosomiasis and its severe complication, periportal fibrosis, are characterized by a predominant Th2 response. To date, specific single nucleotide polymorphisms in ST2 have been some of the most consistently associated genetic variants for asthma.We investigated the role of ST2 (a receptor for the Th2 cytokine IL-33) in chronic and late ...

Performance Evaluation of AFIAS ST2 and Ichroma ST2 Assays in Comparison with Presage ST2 Assay
Background: Elevated soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) levels may predict mortality in heart failure (HF) patients. The AFIAS ST2 assay (AFIAS ST2, Boditech Med Inc., Chuncheon, Korea) and ichroma ST2 assay (ichroma ST2, Boditech Med Inc ...

Targeting ST2 expressing activated regulatory T cells in Kras-mutant lung cancer
Oncogenic KRAS-mutant lung cancers remain treatment refractory. A better understanding of the immune response of KRAS-mutant lung cancers is required to facilitate the development of potential therapeutic strategies.
