Accumulating evidence suggest that infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae is associated with atherosclerosis, but the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Inflammation is important in the initial phase of atherogenesis, and cytokines are important in the initiation and progression of inflammation. The a
The study was undertaken to elucidate the sequence of appearance of T helper (Th)1-and Th2-type cytokines in human peripheral blood leucocyte cultures infected in vitro with dengue type 2 virus. Commercial sandwich enzymelinked immunosorbent assay kits were used to assay the levels of tumour necrosi
