Toxoplasrna gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite, is able to replicate in human brain cells. We recently showed that interferon (1FN)-y-activated cells from glioblastoma line 86HG39 were able to restrict Toxoplusma growth. The effector mechanism responsible for this toxoplasmostatic effect was

## Abstract To investigate the mechanism of cyclosporine (Cs)‐induced fibrous gingival enlargement, the indirect effects of Cs on fibroblast collagenolysis via the drug's effect on the synthesis of the fibroblast regulatory monokines interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNFα) have be
Monocyte/macrophage polypeptides (monokines) alter the properties of synovial cells. This interaction could explain some of the properties of the inflamed synovium in rheumatic disease. Only recently has it been possible to test the action of purified monokines on the target synovial cells. We repor
