Abstract excerpt
Treatment of Th cells with compounds that elevate cAMP levels augments Th2-type lymphokine expression, in particular the synthesis of IL-5. Using primary murine CD4(+) T lymphocytes, we show in this study that inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA) activity in Th2 effector cells impairs IL-5 synthesis, whereas the expression of PKA catalytic subunit alpha enhances IL-5 synthesis in Th0 cells. In addition, we...
