Direct Adenoviral Gene Transfer of Viral IL-10 to Rabbit Knees with Experimental Arthritis Ameliorates Disease in Both Injected and Contralateral Control Knees
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
IL-10, a cytokine produced primarily by macrophages, B lymphocytes, and Th2 cells, has both immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive properties. A homologue of IL-10 encoded by EBV, known as viral IL-10 (vIL-10), is also able to suppress the immune response, but may lack some of the immunostimulatory properties of IL-10. To evaluate the potential of vIL-10 to block the progression of rheumatoid arthritis, we have...
