Type 2 helper T-cell immune responses can be demonstrated in the human atopic disorders atopic dermatitis and allergic asthma/rhinoconjunctivitis. The CD30 (Ki-1) antigen, originally described on Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells, has recently been proposed as a marker of T cells with potent B-cell h
Serum levels of soluble stem cell factor and soluble KIT are elevated in patients with atopic dermatitis and correlate with the disease severity

To investigate whether soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-~R), a marker of T cell activation, could be a useful marker of disease activity in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). Methods. Soluble IL-2R levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. WG disease activity in 102 patients was a
## Abstract Intestinal cells express MHC related molecules termed MICA/MICB, which are upβregulated under stress and in many gastrointestinal tumors. These molecules can be recognized by the immunoreceptor NKG2D, which is present on NK and Ξ³Ξ΄ T cells. Release of MIC molecules from the cell surface
## Abstract Because it was observed recently that yeastβderived recombinant HBsAg interacts in a lipopolysaccharide binding proteinβdependent manner with CD14 expressed on human monocytes, we investigated whether HBsAg influences the serum levels of sCD14, lipopolysaccharide binding protein and Cβr
