Infection of mice lacking interleukin-7 (IL-7) reveals an unexpected role for IL-7 in the development of the parasite Schistosoma mansoni.
A single intradermal administration of recombinant interleukin-7 (IL-7) has been shown to aggravate the course of murine schistosomiasis, to favor the development of Th2-associated antibodies specific for the parasite, and to alter migration kinetics and/or migratory route of the parasite within its vertebrate host. Here we show that after infection of IL-7-deficient mice with Schistosoma manso...
متن کاملThe roles of IL-2, IL-7, and IL15 Ligands in B Cells development
Abstract Background B cells play an important role in the immune system due to production of the immunoglobulin and secreting several cytokines. It has been shown that B cells produced successfully in the presence of stem cell factor (SCF) and Flt3 ligand (Flt3L). IL2, IL7, and IL15 cytokines as -common family have an essential cytokines may support either synergistically or in an additive m...

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 کاملLymphopenia in interleukin (IL)-7 gene-deleted mice identifies IL-7 as a nonredundant cytokine
Interleukin (IL)-7 is a potent stimulus for immature T and B cells and, to a lesser extent, mature T cells. We have inactivated the IL-7 gene in the mouse germline by using gene-targeting techniques to further understand the biology of IL-7. Mutant mice were highly lymphopenic in the peripheral blood and lymphoid organs. Bone marrow B lymphopoiesis was blocked at the transition from pro-B to pr...
