Cyclin kinase inhibitor p21: a mediator of immune tolerance: direct and indirect evidence [PDF]
*Background:* Uncontrolled proliferation of T-cells is considered a barrier to the induction of transplantation tolerance by T regulatory cells. Therefore, cyclin kinase inhibitor p21, one of the most potent inhibitors of cell proliferation, may exert an

Regulatory role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in bone marrow eosinophilopoiesis [PDF]
There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that CD8+ T lymphocytes contribute to local allergen-induced eosinophilic inflammation. Since bone marrow (BM) responses are intricately involved in the induction of airway eosinophilia, we hypothesized that CD8+ T lymphocytes, as well as CD4+ T lymphocytes, may be involved in this process.Several ...

Foxp3+ T-lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of mycosis fungoides
The pathogenesis of mycosis fungoides (MF) is not fully understood, nevertheless it is believed that the microenvironment of the tumor cells could influence the development of malignant lymphocytes. T-regulatory cells are a specialized subpopulation of T-

The parasitic worm-derived immunomodulator, ES-62 and its drug-like small molecule analogues exhibit therapeutic potential in a model of chronic asthma [PDF]
Chronic asthma is associated with persistent lung inflammation and long-term remodelling of the airways that have proved refractory to conventional treatments such as steroids, despite their efficacy in controlling acute airway contraction and bronchial ...

ESTRIOL IN FUNCTIONAL MODULATION OF REGULATORY LYMPHOCYTES IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
We studied effects of estriol (E3), at the doses corresponding to the I and III trimesters of pregnancy,upon expression of functional markers on T-regulatory (Treg) and Th17-producing (Th17) lymphocytes, aswell as the production of relevant cytokines by ...

Regulatory T cells in children with recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes
Background: Regulatory T cells have an important role in the control of immune reactivity against self antigens and probably play a role in pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D).
