Abstract excerpt
Cytokines, including interferon-gamma and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), act in common through tyrosine kinase-based Jak/STAT signaling pathways. We found that activation of the Jak/STAT pathway by both interferon-gamma and CNTF in nerve cells was rapidly terminated by tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. Exposure of human neuroblastoma cells, BE(2)-C, first to tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors (either...
