Background: Apoptosis resistance of T-cells is considered an abnormality of immune pathways in Crohn's disease (CD). It has been previously shown that corticosteroids induce apoptosis of cells involved in inflammation. Thus, our aim was to assess the apoptosis of mononuclear cells and pro/antiinflam

Background: Interleukin (IL)-17F, produced in IL-23R-expressing Th17 cells, is a novel member of the IL-17 cytokine family. Given the association of IL23R with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we characterized the role of IL-17F in IBD including its intestinal gene expression and the effect of the
IL-12 initiates the development of cell-mediated immunity by promoting the differentiation of naive T cells into the Th1 phenotype, and is essential in the development of a Th1 immune response to the intracellular protozoan parasite, Leishmania major. The present study investigated whether IL-12 is
