Peptide mediators, including tumor necrosis factor-a, interleukin 1 and interleukin-6, are associated with many chronic inflammatory diseases and septic shock. As such, considerable information has been collected by means of study of cytokine secretion from isolated cells or plasma cytokines during
The CD40-CD40L (CD154) interaction plays a pivotal role in the effector mechanisms of allograft rejection. Blockade of the CD40/CD40L costimulatory pathway prevents the development of chronic allograft rejection in several animal transplant models. The relevance of in situ CD40 and CD40L expression
Wistar Furth (WF) intestinal allografts were transplanted into Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Recipients were randomly allocated into the following groups: (1) no treatment; (2) cyclosporine (CsA) 6 mg/kg/day, daily, subcutaneously (s.c.; fulldose therapy); (3) CsA 3 mg/kg/day, daily, s.c.

Kupffer cell-derived cytokines are believed to play pivotal paracrine roles in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). To evaluate this hypothesis, Kupffer cell gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( m a ) , interleukin (IL)-6, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFP1) were
