th1/th2 cytokines in psoriasis
background: the aim of this study was to determine the th1 and th2 serum cytokines, in patients with psoriasis and to com pare their cytokine levels with those of normal control subjects. methods: serum levels of interferon-gamma (ifn-γ), interleukin-2 (il-2), interleukin-4 (il-4), and interleukin-10 (il-10) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in 40 patients with psoriasis and in...
متن کاملComparison of Th1 and Th2 Responses in Non-Healing and Healing Patients with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic disease in many regions of Iran, including the city of Mashhad. In recent years, some cases have not responded to Glucantime, the usual treatment for this disease. The cellular immune response caused by T-helper type 1 (Th1) cells has an important role in protection against leishmaniasis, and activation of the T-helper type 2 (Th2) response caus...
متن کاملCombination therapy with paromomycin-associated stearylamine-bearing liposomes cures experimental visceral leishmaniasis through Th1-biased immunomodulation.
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by the parasite Leishmania donovani is a potentially fatal disease. Available limited drugs are toxic, require prolonged treatment duration, and are costly. A low-cost parenteral formulation of paromomycin sulfate (PM) has recently been approved for the treatment of VL. Monotherapy with PM runs the risk of development of resistance. Hence, efforts are needed t...
متن کاملTh1 and Th2 inducing cytokines in Cystic echinococcosis.
This study included 62 subjects who presented at the Turgut Ozal Medical Centre in Malatya. Of these, 32 were infected with the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus and the remaining 30 were healthy controls. The ratio of males to females was 0.45. Cystic echinococcosis (CE) occurred in all age groups; the youngest case was 12 years and the oldest case was 74 years old. The frequency of hyda...
متن کاملTh1 and Th2 Cytokine Profiles in Malignant Pleural Effusion
Background: The alteration of Th1 and Th2 cytokine levels is the subject of controversy in pleural effusions caused by malignancy, a situation that favors a Th2 immune response. Objective: To examine the different levels of IL-4 and IL-10 (Th2 cytokines), and IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (Th1 cytokines) in malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions. Method: The cytokine levels in pleural fl...
