Interleukin 5 enhances interleukin 2-mediated lymphokine-activated killer activity
IL-5 expresses various biologic effects on several types of lymphocytes, including B cells, eosinophils, and T cells. We demonstrated that the incubation of resting splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice in murine rIL-5 enhances IL-2-mediated lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity against various tumor cells. IL-5 alone, however, does not induce killer activity. IL-2-mediated LAK activity increases ...
متن کاملInterleukin 2-induced Lymphokine-activated Killer Generation
In previous studies, ILA has been reported to interfere with IL-2-driven generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity. In this investigation, we have demonstrated that IL4 inhibited the IL-2-induced differentiation of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) into LAK effectors by a mechanism involving, at least in part, an increase in LGL intracellular cAMP levels. In contrast, with its cap...
متن کاملInterleukin 12 a Key Immunoregulatory Cytokine in Infection Applications
Interleukin 12 (termed IL-12p70 and commonly designated IL-12) is an important immunoregulatory cytokine that is produced mainly by antigen-presenting cells. The expression of IL-12 during infection regulates innate responses and determines the type of adaptive immune responses. IL-12 induces interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production and triggers CD4(+) T cells to differentiate into type 1 T help...
متن کاملMicrobial exposures in infancy predict levels of the immunoregulatory cytokine interleukin-4 in Filipino young adults.
OBJECTIVES Infancy represents a window of development during which long-term immunological functioning can be influenced. In this study, we evaluate proxies of microbial exposures in infancy as predictors of interleukin-4 (IL-4) in young adulthood. IL-4 is an immunoregulatory cytokine that plays a role in the pathogenesis of atopic and allergic diseases. METHODS Data were obtained from 1,403 ...
متن کاملInterleukin-2 and lymphokine activated killer cells: promises and cautions.
The purposes of this work are to: review the biological activities of Interleukin-2 (IL-2); evaluate the reported therapeutic benefits and toxicity of IL-2/lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells; and project the role of IL-2/LAK cells in cancer therapy. Interleukin-2 is a glycoprotein lymphokine (mw 15,000) produced naturally by mitogen or antigen stimulated T-lymphocytes. The activities of IL...
