Does iL-12 affect Dermatophagoides farinae-induced IL-4 production by T cells from pediatric patients with mite-sensitive asthma?
Low-dose and high-dose IL-12 induce TH1 responses, and high-dose IL-12 induces both TH1 responses and TH2 or TH0 responses. Consequently, the IL-4 production may overcome TH1-type cell activation of IgE production in patients with mite-sensitive bronchial asthma.
CCK is a physiologically important trophic stimulus for the rat pancreas, but gastrin is not. The increase in pancreatic weight and DNA content after fundectomy and gastrectomy cannot be explained by means of either gastrin or CCK.
