IL-23 is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of a unique p19 subunit and a common p40 subunit is shared with IL-12. IL-23 promotes the inflammatory response by inducing the expansion of CD4+ cells producing IL-17. The regulation of p19 gene expression

We have previously reported that peritoneal and splenic macrophages from Th2-dominant BALB/c mice produced higher amounts of prostaglandin (PG) E2 than cells from C57BL/6 mice. In this study, we investigated how macrophages from BALB/c mice acquire t

In previous papers we reported that endocrine disrupters (EDs) such as diethyl stilbesterol (DES), 4,4'-isopropylidene diphenol (Bisphenol A : BPA), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (EHP) and p-nonylphenol (NP) stimulated proliferative responses and cyto
