Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-13 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by activated Th2 cells in the mouse and human. IL-13 is secreted mainly as an unglycosylated protein of 132 amino acids with a molecular weight of 10,000 daltons. A 4.3kb DNA fragment of the mouse IL-13 gene was sequenced and occurs as a single copy mapping a chromosome 11. In the human, a 4.6 kb DNA segment of the IL-13 gene occurs as a single copy and maps to chromosome 5. IL-13 induces B cell proliferation and also induces IgE switching. The proliferative activity of human and mouse IL-13 products are tested in culture using the human erythroleukemic cell line TF-1.

Asthma exacerbations represent a significant disease burden and are commonly caused by rhinovirus (RV), which is sensed by Toll-like receptors (TLR) such as TLR7. Some asthmatics have impaired interferon (IFN) responses to RV, but the underlying mechanisms of this clinically

Restoration of the antigen (Ag)-specific immune tolerance in an allergic environment is refractory. B cells are involved in immune regulation. Whether B cells facilitate the generation of Ag-specific immune tolerance in an allergic environment requires further investigation. This paper aims

The leukotrienes (LTs) enhance allergen- and interleukin (IL)-13-dependent allergic lung inflammatory disease. However, the precise requirement of LTs and the mechanism by which they elicit allergic lung responses remain uncertain. To clarify the involvement of LTs in respiratory allergen- and

Continual efferocytic clearance of apoptotic cells (ACs) by macrophages prevents necrosis and promotes injury resolution. How continual efferocytosis is promoted is not clear. Here, we show that the process is optimized by linking the metabolism of engulfed cargo from initial
