This study compared the repertoire of cytokines produced by epithelial cell lines and human
peripheral blood monocytes in response to Escherichia coli. The A-498 and J82 urinary tract …

This study compared the cytokine production of uroepithelial cell lines in response to gram-
negative bacteria and inflammatory cytokines. Human kidney (A498) and bladder (J82) …

Bacterial invasion of mucosal surfaces results in a rapid influx of polymorphonuclear
leukocytes. The chemotactic stimulus responsible for this response is not known. Since …

Cytokines may play an important role in the regulation of host defense against local bacterial
infections. We have evaluated the local production of cytokines in a BALB/c mouse model of …

Patients with unresolving acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have persistently
elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the lungs and circulation and increased rates …

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the IL-1 family cytokines, in addition
to IL-6 and IL-8, could be induced in normal human cortical epithelial cells in response to …

Urinary tract epithelial cells (T 24/83) are able to express interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, platelet-
derived growth factor (PDGF) and tumour necrosis factor-α, but not IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 …

The aim of this study was to determine whether products of enteric bacteria are able to
regulate lymphocyte activation and cytokine production. Whole bacteria and bacterial …

This study demonstrated that epithelial cell lines secrete interleukin-6 (IL-6) in response to
stimulation with gram-negative bacteria. Human epithelial cell lines of urinary tract origin (A …

Escherichia coli organisms induce polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) infiltration during
clinical infection and also in a rabbit dermal model of inflammation. We investigated the …
