Interleukin-5 and IL-5 receptor in health and diseases
While interleukin-5 (IL-5) is initially identified by its ability to support the growth and terminal differentiation of mouse B cells in vitro into antibody-secreting cells, recombinant IL-5 exerts pleiotropic activities on various target cells including B cells, eosinophils, and basophils. IL-5 is produced by both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells including T cells, granulocytes, and n...
متن کاملIL-5 and IL-5 receptor in asthma.
Eosinophils, along with mast cells are key cells involved in the innate immune response against parasitic infection whereas the adaptive immune response is largely dependent on lymphocytes. In chronic parasitic disease and in chronic allergic disease, IL-5 is predominantly a T cell derived cytokine which is particularly important for the terminal differentiation, activation and survival of comm...
متن کاملThe role of interleukin-5 (IL-5) in vivo: studies with IL-5 deficient mice.
Eosinophil recruitment is a characteristic feature of a number of pathological conditions and was the topic of the recent International Symposium on allergic inflammation, asthma, parasitic and infectious diseases (Rio de Janeiro, June 3-5, 1996). Since interleukin-5 (IL-5) is believed to regulate the growth, differentiation and activation of eosinophils (Coffman et al. 1989, Sanderson 1992), t...
متن کاملJAK 2 and JAK 1 Constitutively Associate With an Interleukin - 5 ( IL - 5 ) Receptor a and b c Subunit , Respectively , and Are Activated Upon IL - 5 Stimulation
The human interleukin-5 receptor (hIL-5R) consists of a unique a subunit (hIL-5Ra) and a common b subunit (bc) that activate two Janus kinases (JAK1 and JAK2) and a signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT5). The precise stoichiometry of the hIL-5R subunits and the role of JAK kinases used in IL-5 signaling were investigated. We analyzed the interaction between hIL-5Ra and bc by i...
متن کاملJAK2 and JAK1 constitutively associate with an interleukin-5 (IL-5) receptor alpha and betac subunit, respectively, and are activated upon IL-5 stimulation.
The human interleukin-5 receptor (hIL-5R) consists of a unique alpha subunit (hIL-5Ralpha) and a common beta subunit (betac) that activate two Janus kinases (JAK1 and JAK2) and a signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT5). The precise stoichiometry of the hIL-5R subunits and the role of JAK kinases used in IL-5 signaling were investigated. We analyzed the interaction between hIL-5...
