An IL-7 fusion protein that shows increased thymopoietic ability.
The role of IL-7 during thymopoiesis has led to it being the focus of a number of therapeutic interventions. However, its small size and pleiotropic nature present problems for thymus-directed therapies. We have created a fusion molecule between the extracellular N-terminal domain of CCR9 and IL-7, which has the potential to overcome these difficulties. This novel fusion protein retains the thy...
متن کاملIL-7 Induces an Epitope Masking of γc Protein in IL-7 Receptor Signaling Complex
IL-7 signaling via IL-7Rα and common γ-chain (γc) is necessary for the development and homeostasis of T cells. Although the delicate mechanism in which IL-7Rα downregulation allows the homeostasis of T cell with limited IL-7 has been well known, the exact mechanism behind the interaction between IL-7Rα and γc in the absence or presence of IL-7 remains unclear. Additionally, we are still uncerta...
متن کاملIncreased IL-7 expression in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
PURPOSE IL-7/IL-7R has been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases. This study was designed to investigate the potential role of IL-7/IL-7R in the pathogenesis of Vogt Koyanagi-Harada (VKH), an organ-specific autoimmune disease. METHODS IL-7 was measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum obtained from patients with active or inactive V...
متن کاملMurine interleukin 7 (IL-7) receptor. Characterization on an IL-7- dependent cell line
A murine cell line (IxN/2b) absolutely dependent upon exogenous IL-7 for continued growth has been obtained that expresses lymphoid precursor and class I MHC antigens and also contains a rearranged mu heavy chain. This cell line has been used to define the binding and structural characteristics of the murine IL-7 receptor using 125I-labeled recombinant murine IL-7. 125I-IL-7 binding to IxN/2b c...
متن کاملWithania somnifera shows ability to counter Parkinson’s Disease: An Update
Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) is a very revered herb of the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine. It is useful for treating various kinds of disease processes and especially used as a nervine tonic. Withania somnifera (Ws) contain a wide array of active components including withaferin A, withanone and other flavonoids exhibiting strong anti-oxidant properties. Many scientific studies on Ws we...
