autism is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that characterized by abnormal bilateral social interaction, deficiency in verbal and nonverbal communication, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors .autism caused by the inappropriate immune response which released several cytokines. one of the most important and main causes of autism is a defect in, the formation of the neuronal synaptic ...

The chimeric toxin IL6-PE40, which is composed of interleukin 6 (IL6) fused to a mutant form of Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) devoid of its native cell recognition domain, can kill myeloma and hepatoma cells which express high levels of IL6 receptors. To enhance the usefulness of IL6-PE40 on potential target cells, we have attempted to develop more potent IL6-PE derivatives. We have developed nine ...

IL6-PE40 is a chimeric toxin composed of human interleukin-6 (IL6) linked by a peptide bond to PE40, a form of Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) devoid of its cell recognition domain. To identify cancer cell lines with high numbers of IL6 receptors and to assess the usefulness of IL6-PE40 as a possible anticancer agent, we evaluated the toxicity of IL6-PE40 on a variety of tumor cell lines and demonstr...

IL6-PE40 and IL6-PE664Glu are chimeric molecules composed of interleukin 6 (IL6) fused to a truncated form (PE40) or a full-length mutated form (PE664Glu) of Pseudomonas exotoxin. Both forms of IL6-Pseudomonas exotoxin are cytotoxic to IL6 receptor-bearing tumor cell types in culture. In this report, we show that both IL6-PE40 and IL6-PE664Glu have antitumor activity against the hepatocellular ...

Diverse studies suggest that interleukin-6 (IL6), as a member of cytokines family, has a major role in inflammatory processes of airways and lungs. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the serum level of IL6 in sulfur mustard (SM) injured patients and its comparison with controls. The measured IL6 mean level in patients with chemical injuries (0.76±0.3 ng/ml) was significantly higher...
