Azithromycin Treatment Modulates Cytokine Production inChlamydia trachomatisInfected Women

BCG modulates neonatal innate immune cytokine production.

Infection causes 0.6 million of the total 2.9 million neonatal deaths every year and devastates the lives of millions more who initially survive; it mercilessly seeks out those weakened by premature delivery and/or low birth weight (LBW), an unfortunate combination too frequently encountered all over the world but particularly so in low-income countries [1]. Reduction of neonatal mortality over...

Chocolate consumption modulates cytokine production in healthy individuals.

Epidemiological studies suggest that chocolate increases the incidence and severity of acne. Here we demonstrate that chocolate consumption primes human blood mononuclear cells from volunteers to release more interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-10 upon stimulation with Propionibacterium acne or Staphylcoccus aureus, the two microorganisms involved in the pathogenesis of acne. In contrast, production ...

Cytokine Production in Hymenolepis Nana Infection

Background: Although many experimental studies provide convincing evidence that type II immunity is protective against helminths, recent data in mice demonstrate that Th1 is also impor-tant in some cestodes like Hymenolepis nana. Objective: To identify the role of Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes in immunity against H. nana, the levels of IL-12, IFNγ, IL-5, and IL-13 were de-termined in serum of humans ...
