Abstract excerpt
Genetic deficiency of Jak3 leads to abrogation of signal transduction through the common gamma chain (γc) and thus to immunodeficiency suggesting that specific inhibition of Jak3 kinase may result in immunosuppression. Jak1 cooperates with Jak3 in signaling through γc-containing receptors. Unexpectedly, a Jak3-selective inhibitor was less efficient in abolishing STAT5 phosphorylation than pan-Jak inhibitors. We...
