Impaired Th1 responses in mice deficient in Epstein‐Barr virus‐induced gene 3 and challenged with physiological doses of <i>Leishmania major</i>
9 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Protection against Leishmania major is dependent on IL-12 release from L. major-infected dendritic cells (DC) that induce IFN-gamma-producing Th1/Tc1 cells. IL-27, a novel member of the IL-12 family, is a heterodimer composed of p28 and IL-12p40-related Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 (EBI3), and was shown to be produced by DC. In this study, we utilized EBI3-deficient mice to investigate the role of IL-27 in...
