Abstract excerpt
The induction of cell surface expression of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens by interleukin (IL)-4 and interferon (IFN)-gamma is inhibited by elevation of intracellular cyclic (c)AMP, which is caused by immunomodulatory agents such as E series prostaglandins (PGEs). To investigate the mechanism of this downregulation, we have analyzed the consequences of elevating intracellular cAMP on...
