Association between IL-4 gene polymorphisms, IL-4 serum levels, and ankylosing spondylitis

Association between IL-4 gene polymorphisms, IL-4 serum levels, and ankylosing spondylitis.

We aimed to investigate the effect of two common polymorphisms in interleukin-4 (IL-4) on serum IL-4 levels and the development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in the Chinese population. A total of 420 inpatients and outpatients diagnosed with AS were enrolled as the case group, and 330 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. IL-4 rs2243250 and rs2227282 genotype frequencies in th...

Association between Serum IL-4 Levels and Cyst Relapsing in Cystic Echinococcosis

Detection of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-12 Serum Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis

Background: Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Environmental and genetic factors as well as the immune system participate in this process. Recent studies have attempted to elucidate the role of cytokine networks involved in periodontal diseases. Objective: To assess and compare the levels of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-...

association of the expression of il-4 and il-13 genes, il-4 and ige serum levels with allergic asthma

immune and inflammatory responses mediated by cytokines, play important roles in the pathophysiology of asthma. these responses are associated with overexpression of th2 cytokines such as il-4 and il-13. these two cytokines use common receptors for signaling that lead to identical immunological effects and regulation of the th1/th2 balance. the aim of this study was to determine whether patient...
