interleukin-12 and peripheral blood invariant natural killer t cells as an axis in childhood asthma pathogenesis
interleukin-12 (il-12) is a key cytokine involved in regulating the balance between th1 and th2 cells by promoting th1 response. a reduced capacity to produce this cytokine could lead to aberrant th2 development. on the same aspect significant impact of il-12 on invariant natural killer t (inkt) cells was reported. therefore, we examined the serum levels of il-12 and the absolute number of peri...
متن کاملOrganic dust-induced interleukin-12 production activates T- and natural killer cells.
Exposure in swine confinement buildings causes intense airway inflammation and lymphocyte activation, as assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage. To further clarify the T-cell activation, the present in vitro study focused on intracellular cytokine production following exposure to organic dust from swine houses. Whole blood from healthy donors was incubated with swine dust, phytohaemagglutinin (posi...
متن کاملT cell regulation of natural killer cells
In light of their role in the immune response against tumors and viruses, natural killer (NK) cells represent a promising target for immunotherapy. Before this target is reached, the various mechanisms that control NK cell activity must first be identified and understood. In the past decades, studies have identified two critical processes that prevent spontaneous NK cell-mediated autoimmune act...
متن کاملProduction of natural killer cell stimulatory factor (interleukin 12) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells
Natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF), or interleukin 12 (IL-12), is a 70-kD heterodimeric cytokine composed of two covalently linked chains, p40 and p35. NKSF/IL-12 has multiple effects on T and NK cells and was originally identified and purified from the supernatant fluid of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed human B lymphoblastoid cell lines. We have produced a panel of monoclonal ...
متن کاملThe State of Peripheral Blood Natural Killer Cells and Cytotoxicity in Women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Unexplained Infertility
Objective : The prognostic value of peripheral natural killer (pNK) cells, as a screening test in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and unexplained infertility is still a matter for discussion. The aim of this study was to compare the percentage of circulating CD56+NK cells, CD69 and perforin markers between women with unexplained infertility and RPL with healthy control group. Material...
