Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DC) are the main producers of the cytokine IL-12p70, through which they play a direct role in the development of IFN-gamma-secreting Th1 cells, costimulation of CTL differentiation and NK-cell activation. In contrast, IL-10, which is also produced by DC, negatively regulates IL-12 production. IL-12p70 production varies widely between individuals, and several polymorphisms in the gene encoding...
