Human peripheral blood mononuclear lymphocytes produce interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) in response to stimulation by mitogens. Previous studies on the kinetics of IFN-gamma mRNA production upon mitogen induction, showed that steady-state levels of mRNA increased to a maximum at 12-24 h post-induction after which they declined to levels not detectable by the assay used. We show here that in mitogen induced peripheral blood lymphocytes, inhibition of protein synthesis using three different inhibitors (cycloheximide, puromycin, pactamycin) resulted in an increase in the steady-state levels of IFN-gamma mRNA. The levels of mRNA in cells treated with inhibitor 16 h post-induction were up to 3-fold higher than in untreated cells. Superinduction was possible up to 40 h post-induction after which the steady-state levels of mRNA had declined to limits below detection; IFN-gamma mRNA was not superinduced by cycloheximide in the presence of actinomycin D.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by itching and redness, affecting individuals of all ages and significantly impairing their quality of life. The prevalence of AD is rising, posing serious health concern. Relief of itching is a primary treatment objective; however, steroid treatments can lead to adverse effects, including skin barrier thinning.

Backgrounds And Aims: CD8+T cells are crucially associated with the fight against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. CD161 has been shown to express remarkably on HCV-specific CD8+T cells. However, the accurate function of CD161+CD8+T cells in HBV immunity or pathogenesis remains undetermined.

Prebiotics and probiotics have key roles in the intervention and treatment of food allergies. This study assesses the effect of synergistic fructo-oligosaccharide (Lp-FOS) intervention using an allergic mouse model induced by soy protein. The results showed that Lp synergistic FOS significantly decreased clinical allergy scores, inhibited specific antibodies (IgE, IgG, and IgG1), IL-4, IL-6, and IL-17A levels, and increased IFN-γ and IL-10 levels.

Previous studies have shown that supplementation with specific probiotics can be used to alleviate allergy symptoms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-allergic effects of ZW3 (ZW3) in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic mice. The mice were divided into six groups: the food allergy group, positive group ( GG), low-dose ZW3 group, middle-dose ZW3 group, high-dose ZW3 group, and the control group involving healthy mice.

Background: Sepsis is defined as multi-organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection. This dysregulated host response includes enhanced inflammatory responses and suppressed adaptive immunity, but the molecular mechanisms behind it have not yet been elucidated. CD72, a type II transmembrane protein that is primarily expressed in B cells, was found to play an immunomodulatory role in the immune system and was associated with mortality in patients with sepsis.
