of T regulatory cells, which prevent
specific immune cells from copying themselves and can also suppress rejection by secreting biochemicals called
cytokines that direct the immune orchestra to change its tune.

of these immune complexes (ICs) through
specific receptor molecules and release inflammatory factors called
cytokines that activate the endothelial cells lining adjacent blood vessels to promote the recruitment
of neutrophils.

Hsiou - Chi Liou and colleagues find that c - Rel, a lymphoid -
specific member
of the NF - kappaB / Rel family
of transcriptional factors, is essential for B lymphocyte survival and cell cycle progression, [i] and that it is important for inducible
cytokine and
cytokine receptor expression and a key regulator
of early activation and proliferation in T cells.
Similarly, IFN - γ blockade did not affect the expansion
of gp33 -
specific IFN - γ + CD8 T cells (Fig. 4B) or gp33 -
specific TNF - α + CD8 T cells (Fig. 4C), although immunized mice continued to have an increased percentage
of cytokine - producing cells within the total CD8 T cell compartment.
The cell assays are based on blood samples or tissue biopsies from these patients, and readouts are either
specific, such as antibody production or the production
of proinflammatory
cytokines, or wider, such as proteomic effects
of the probes.
The initial model for STAT signaling involves a
specific cytokine binding to its cognate receptor and promoting the transphosphorylation
of receptor associated tyrosine kinases from the Janus - activated kinase family (JAK).
To study the effect
of ageing on the ability
of CMV -
specific CD8 (+) T cells to produce type 1 - and type 2 -
cytokines, interferon - gamma - and IL -10-producing, CD8 (+) T cell responses in the presence
of CMV peptide antigen were measured in CMV - seropositive old and young donors.
CD8 T cells
specific for the noninflationary M45 epitope displayed a classic central memory phenotype, re-expressing the lymph node homing receptor CD62L and homeostatic
cytokine receptors for IL - 7 and IL - 15, and produced low levels
of IL - 2.
We hypothesize that both the quality and timing
of DENV -
specific antibody and T lymphocyte responses influence whether their overall effect is beneficial (controlling DENV replication and reducing the severity
of illness) or harmful (creating a «
cytokine storm» leading to plasma leakage).
We use the Cre - loxP recombination system to generate mice with cell type -
specific inactivation
of the IL - 10 gene in order to identify cellular sources
of the
cytokine that are relevant in various situations
of immune challenge.
It could also pave the way for future research into treatments that can target these
specific cytokines, suggests Anthony Komaroff, PhD, an epidemiologist at Harvard University and author
of a forthcoming commentary to be published with the new study.
