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 does this by boosting the production of cytokines, a type of protein that is released to fight specific antigens, generating a protective immune response.
In the opposite situation, when a healthy immune system reacts to environmental factors through cytokine production, PRPs send signals via specific cell receptor sites to decrease the production of cytokines in order to balance the immune system.
