Soluble Interleukin-13Rα2 Decoy Receptor Inhibits Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Growthin Vitroandin Vivo
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have demonstrated that the malignant Reed-Sternberg cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) secrete and are responsive to interleukin (IL)-13. We hypothesized that overexpression of a soluble IL-13 decoy receptor (sIL-13Ralpha2) via adenoviral-mediated gene transfer would inhibit IL-13-induced Reed-Sternberg cell proliferation. Western blot and ELISA analysis verified expression of sIL-13Ralpha2 in cell...
