Cytokines - Metabolism
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cytokines'Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Common names: Cytokines |

Data from epidemiologic studies suggest that hookworm infections, in establishing an immunologic phenotype conducive to parasite survival, may protect against the development of allergic disease. We describe immunologic findings from a clinical ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 rDEN4Delta30-4995 is a live attenuated dengue virus type 4 (DENV4) vaccine candidate specifically designed as a further attenuated derivative of the rDEN4Delta30 parent virus. In a previous study, 5 of 20 vaccinees who received 10(5) plaque-forming ... Read more...
Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease.
30 Oct 2009 Mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells. These cells establish a barrier between sometimes hostile external environments and the internal milieu. However, mucosae are also responsible for nutrient absorption and waste secretion, which require ... Read more...
