Primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection causes infectious mononucleosis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in children, where EBV infects B and CD8(+) T cells, respectively. We measured pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in both diseases. Significantly higher concentrations of various mediators, including interferon-γ, neopterin, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-18, and ...

leukemia is a hematological tumor in which the malignant myeloid or lymphoid subsets play a pivotal role. newly identified t helper cell 22 (th22) is a subset of cd4(+) t cells with distinguished gene expression, function and specific properties apart from other known cd4(+) t cell subsets.th22 cells are characterized by production of a distinct profile of effector cytokines, including interleu...

newly  identified  t  helper  cell  22  (th22)  is  a  subset  of  cd4+t  cells  with  specific properties apart from other known cd4+ t cell subsets with distinguished gene expression and function. th22 cells are characterized by production of a distinct profile of effector cytokines, including interleukin (il)-22, il-13, and tumor necrosis factor-α (tnf-α). the levels of th22 and related cyto...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are fiber-shaped nanomaterials that have a potential risk for cancer due to properties similar asbestos. One type of nanotube called MWCNT-7 was categorized in Group 2B as possibly carcinogenic humans by the International Agency Research on Cancer. MWCNT-N, which is MWCNT-7, lung and pleura when administered rats via respiratory tract using intra-tracheal in...
