Background and purpose: We have previously shown that treatment with zinc plus cyclo-(His-Pro) (CHP) significantly stimulated synthesis of the insulin degrading enzyme and lowered plasma insulin and blood glucose levels, alongside improving oral gluc

Immunosenescence results in populating immune tissues with less functional T cells, and perhaps B cells dendritic cells, that do not function well and produce more type 2 cytokines and fewer type 1 cytokines. Impaired immunity, distinct from immunose

Objectives: To determine whether high level of comorbidity, measured using a standardized instrument, can predict impaired immunity in older adults. Setting: Geriatric outpatient Clinic and Nursing Home Care Unit of Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angel

The interaction of CD40 ligand (CD40L) expressed by activated T cells with CD40 on macrophages has been shown to be a potent stimulus for the production of IL-12, an obligate signal for generation of Th1 cytokine responses. The expression and interac

We investigated the role of IL-18 in leprosy, a disease characterized by polar cytokine responses that correlate with clinical disease. In vivo, IL-18 mRNA expression was higher in lesions from resistant tuberculoid as compared with susceptible lepro

We used human leprosy as a model to compare patterns of costimulatory molecule expression in respect to the clinical/immunologic spectrum of disease. We found that B7-1, B7-2, and CD28 transcripts dominated in tuberculoid leprosy patients, who have p

Human γδ T cells have the ability to rapidly expand and produce IFN-γ in response to nonpeptide Ags of microbial pathogens, in particular a class of compounds known as the prenyl phosphates. We investigated the ability of IL-15, a T cell growth fa

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of frail elderly nursing home residents had significantly higher PHA-induced interleukin-10 (IL-10) production compared to PBMC's from young control subjects. No correlation was observed between IL-10 product
