Abstract excerpt
IL-4 has potent anti-inflammatory properties on monocytes and suppresses both IL-1beta and TNF-alpha production. Well-characterized components of the IL-4 receptor on monocytes include the 140-kDa alpha-chain and the IL-2R gamma-chain, gammac, which normally dimerize 1:1 for signaling from the receptor. However, mRNA levels for gammac were very low in 7-day-cultured monocytes. As mRNA levels for gammac declined...
