Interleukin 5 regulates the isoform expression of its own receptor α-subunit
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The receptor for interleukin 5 (IL-5) consists of a cytokine-specific alpha chain (IL-5Ralpha) and a signaling beta chain, which is shared with interleukin 3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). These 3 cytokines can act in eosinophil development and activation in vitro, but gene deletion or antibody blocking of IL-5 largely ablates eosinophilic responses in models of allergic...
