X Abstract

Interleukin (IL)-10 is a cytokine that modulates both innate and adaptive immunity, primarily by exerting antiinflammatory effects. IL-10 was originally thought to be produced only by T helper (Th)2 cells, but is now known to be made by a variety of cell types. During many infections, CD4+ T cells produce both interferon (IFN)-gamma, the signature Th1 cytokine, and IL-10. New data now show that the IL-10 produced by effector Th1 cells helps limit the collateral damage caused by exaggerated inflammation. But this control may also limit the effectiveness of the immune response, resulting in a failure to fully eliminate pathogens. 10.1084/jem.20070104

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
