The human interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R) is responsible for signal transduction of IL6 that might have associations with immune diseases and various infectious diseases. We have sequenced all 10 exons including the putative splicing site to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms in IL6R. Seven nove

## Abstract Induction of myelin gene expression denotes the last stage of differentiation of myelinating glial cells. Following peripheral nerve transection, Schwann cells (SC) lose myelin gene expression and proliferate, resembling premyelinating embryonic SC (eSC). We show that a fusion protein o
In various neurologic diseases, astrocytes express interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is an endogenous pyrogen, a neuroprotective factor, and a regulator of the blood-brain barrier. The expression of IL-6 in astrocytes is stimulated by extracellular adenosine through A 2B receptors. To investigate the sign
Increasing evidence supports an essential role for interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the development, differentiation, as well as de-and re-generation of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). Both IL-6 and its specific receptor (IL-6R) are expressed on neurons and glial cells including astrocytes. In t
## Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion formation is modulated by cytokines secreted within the central nervous system (CNS). Th1 lymphocytes and monocyte/macrophages (MM) likely induce lesion formation, whereas Th2 lymphocytes may inhibit formation. To explore the role of cytokines in MS lesion
