Abstract excerpt

Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a cytokine preferentially produced by T helper type 2 lymphocytes and active on various cell types such as T- and B-lymphocytes, mast cells and haemopoietic progenitors. The IL-9 receptor (IL-9R) belongs to the haemopoietic receptor superfamily and its signal transduction involves mainly the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. Here we studied...
