## Abstract ## Objective Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells can be facilitated by complement components and short pentraxins, such as serum amyloid P (SAP). In contrast, the long pentraxin PTX3 was shown to inhibit phagocytosis of apoptotic Jurkat cells by dendritic cells and to bind late apoptotic p

Interferon-␥ (IFN-␥), a multifunctional cytokine produced by activated Th1 lymphocytes, exerts potent effects on the extracellular matrix by regulating fibroblast function. In this study, we examined the modulation of ␣1(I) procollagen gene (COL1A1) expression by recombinant IFN-␥. The results showe

Induction of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) by IFN-+ results in growth inhibition of Toxoplasma and Chlamydia spp. as well as tumor cells. This is caused by the degradation, and therefore depletion, of L-tryptophan necessary for cell protein synthesis. Human macrophages stimulated with IFN-+ expr
