Recombinant human interleukin 28B: anti-HCV potency, receptor usage and restricted cell-type responsiveness.
OBJECTIVES Interleukin 28B (IL28B) genetic variation has been recently reported as a potent predictor of hepatitis C virus (HCV) response to interferon (IFN) therapy. The aim of this study was to produce recombinant human IL28B (rhIL28B) in yeast and explore the action mechanisms of rhIL28B as a novel anti-HCV agent. METHODS A simple and efficient protocol for producing rhIL28B in the methylo...
متن کاملInhibition of interleukin-1 responsiveness by type II receptor gene transfer: a surface "receptor" with anti-interleukin-1 function
The hypothesis that the type II receptor (RII) acts as a decoy for interleukin-1 (IL-1) was tested by gene transfer in cells expressing only the type I receptor (8387 fibroblasts). RII-transfected cells showed defective responsiveness to IL-1 in terms of NFkappaB activation, cytokine gene expression and production. Blocking monoclonal antibodies against RII restored the capacity of RII-transfec...
متن کاملEffects of recombinant soluble type I interleukin-1 receptor on human inflammatory responses to endotoxin.
Effects of soluble recombinant human type I interleukin-1 receptor (sIL-1RI) were evaluated in 18 volunteers given intravenous endotoxin and randomized to placebo (n = 6), low-dose (n = 6), or high-dose (n = 6) sIL-1RI. Soluble IL-1RI decreased IL-1 beta (P = .001), but decreased IL-1ra (P = .0001), and resulted in 10-fold and 43-fold dose-related increases in sIL-1RI-IL-1ra complexes compared ...
متن کاملTransduction of Human T Cells with a Novel T-Cell Receptor Confers Anti-HCV Reactivity
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a major public health concern, with no effective vaccines currently available and 3% of the world's population being infected. Despite the existence of both B- and T-cell immunity in HCV-infected patients, chronic viral infection and HCV-related malignancies progress. Here we report the identification of a novel HCV TCR from an HLA-A2-restricted, HCV NS3:1073-1081-rea...
متن کاملHuman interleukin 4 receptor confers biological responsiveness and defines a novel receptor superfamily
IL-4, a pleiotropic cytokine produced by T lymphocytes, plays an important role in immune responsiveness by regulating proliferation and differentiation of a variety of lymphoid and myeloid cells via binding to high affinity receptors. In this report we describe the isolation and functional expression of a human IL-4-R cDNA. When transfected into COS-7 cells, the cDNA encodes a 140-kD cell-surf...
