Increased levels of interleukin 31 (IL-31) in osteoporosis

Mechanisims of asthma and allergic disease – 1064. Interleukin 31 (IL 31) serum levels in atopic dermatitis patients

Background Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic skin disorder which is a subset of atopy. Atopy refers to a genetic predisposition to respond immunonologically to allergens which are generally harmless, causingover production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. IgE synthesis is dependent on the activation of CD4+ Th2 subset and their secretion of cytokines including IL 4 and IL 13. This stud...

Serum IL-31 levels are increased in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Interleukin-31 Polymorphisms and Serum IL-31 Level in Patients with Mastocytosis: Correlation with Clinical Presen-tation and Pruritus.

Data on interleukin-31 (IL-31) involvement in the patho-genesis of mastocytosis, and its impact on pruritus development in the disease, are limited. The aim of this study was to analyse distinct IL-31 gene polymorphisms in 127 patients (age 0.5-76 years) with mastocytosis and their correlation with clinical presentation, pruritus and serum IL-31 levels. In patients with mastocytosis, the freque...

Elevated Responsiveness to IL - 31 Receptor ( IL - 31 RA ) Knockout Mice

Association of LL-37 and IL-31 serum levels with SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) score in atopic dermatitis patients

Background: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, recurrent inflammation of the skin, accompanied by severe pruritus. Immune system dysregulation and skin barrier defects are associated with the abnormalities in atopic dermatitis. Myriad pieces of evidence have pointed to the major roles of LL-37 and interleukin-31 (IL31)in atopic dermatitis. The studies on atopic dermatitis are still limited i...
