During the 2008 relapse, the researchers found that immune cells in tissues with active colitis produced large quantities of an inflammatory signaling molecule named interluekin - 17 (IL - 17), but very little IL - 22, the latter of which has been linked to wound healing and mucus production.

Dinarello, identifies and characterizes adhesion molecules, a class of cell surface proteins that function in the interactions of immune cells with other cells, including antigen - specific recognition and cell trafficking: integrin LFA - 1 involved in cytoskeleton and signaling, and intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), which are binding partners (ligands) for LFA - 1 and are increased in inflammatory and autoimmune disease.
