Alloantigen-reactive Th1 development in IL-12-deficient mice.
IL-12p70, a 70- to 75-kDa heterodimer consisting of disulfide-bonded 35-kDa (p35) and 40-kDa (p40) subunits, enhances Th1 development primarily by its ability to induce IFN-gamma production by NK and Th1 cells. Although homodimers of the p40 subunit of IL-12 are potent IL-12 receptor antagonists in some systems, we have reported that p40 homodimer may accentuate alloreactive CD8+ Th1 function. ...
متن کاملResponses to Leishmania donovani in mice deficient in interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-12/IL-23, or IL-18.
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) orchestrates acquired resistance in intracellular Leishmania donovani infection in the liver, inducing gamma interferon and, in turn, macrophage activation and parasite killing. Nevertheless, testing in IL-18(-/-) mice compared to wild-type mice and in IL-12p40(-/-) compared to IL-12p35(-/-) mice also suggested both early-acting (IL-18) and late-acting (IL-23) antileishma...
متن کاملSuppression and acceleration of autoimmune diabetes by neutralization of endogenous interleukin-12 in NOD mice.
A corpus of evidence suggests that T-helper type 1 (Th1)-dependent cellular immunity plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. This study was intended to find ways to prevent the development of NOD diabetes using a neutralizing anti-interleukin (IL)-12 antibody (C17.8) that inhibits Thl cell differentiation. When C17.8 was administered from 5 to 30 weeks of age, NOD mice ...
متن کاملPartial impairment of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-18 signaling in Tyk2-deficient mice.
Tyk2 is activated in response to interleukin-12 (IL-12) and is essential for IL-12-induced T-cell function, including interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production and Th1 cell differentiation. Because IL-12 is a stimulatory factor for natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity, we examined whether tyk2 is required for IL-12-induced NK cell activity. IL-12-induced NK cell activity in cells from t...
متن کاملInterleukin-33 promoting Th1 lymphocyte differentiation dependents on IL-12
The pro-Th2 cytokine IL-33 is now emerging as an important Th1 cytokine-IFN-γ inducer in murine CD4(+) T cells that is essential for protective cell-mediated immunity against viral infection in mice. However, whether IL-33 can promote human Th1 cell differentiation and how IL-33 polarizes Th1 cells is less understood. We assessed the ability of IL-33 to induce Th1 cell differentiation and IFN-γ...
