    Abstract Introduction: Allergen-specific CD4+ T cells play a central role in autoimmune disorders, allergies and asthma, with Th2-type immunity being the typical functional response of CD4+ T cells. This study aimed to investigate the role of MBD2 in regulating Th2 cell differentiation. Methods: Splenic mononuclear cells were extracted from C57BL/6 mice, and CD4+ T cells were isolated using magnetic beads and confirmed through flow cytometry. Lentivirus was employed to construct MBD2-silenced CD4+ T cells. In vitro experiments were performed to treat splenogenic mononuclear cells and CD4+ T cells with Ovalbumin (OVA), and Th2 cell ratios and IL-4 levels were assessed… More >

    Abstract The human IL-15RA gene encoding the alpha chain of the IL-15 receptor is expressed in a varietyof immune and non-immune cell types from different tissues, and generates multiple splicing events of func-tional importance. We aimed to evaluate expression of IL-15RA transcripts generated by alternative usage oftranscription start site (Var1 and Var2) and by deletion of exon 3 (Del3), exon 2 (Del2), or both (Del2,3) in dif-ferent human tissues. Since a CpG island was found near to the IL-15RA gene transcription start site, we alsoinvestigated the role of DNA methylation on the expression of IL-15RA full-length… More >
