Interleukin (IL)-12 is a multifunctional cytokine acting as a key regulator of cell-mediated
immune responses through the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into type 1 helper T cells …

The identification of a new T cell subset referred to as T helper 17 (Th17) cells and its role in
protective immunity against extracellular bacterial infections is well established. In contrast …

Abstract Regulation of interleukin (IL)-12 production by coexpression of tumor necrosis
factor (TNF)-α, IL-10, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in human monocytes infected …

Macrophage-derived interleukin-12 (IL-12) is essential for the activation of a protective
immune response against intracellular pathogens. In this study, we examined the regulation …

Since its initial description as a Th2-cytokine antagonistic to interferon-alpha and
granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, many studies have shown various anti …

IL-26 is an antimicrobial protein secreted by Th17 cells that has the ability to directly kill
extracellular bacteria. To ascertain whether IL-26 contributes to host defense against …
