Autocrine deactivation of macrophages in transgenic mice constitutively overexpressing IL-10 under control of the human CD68 promoter.
IL-10 plays an essential role in blocking cytokine production by activated macrophages. To analyze the consequences of enforced expression of IL-10 by macrophages on innate and adaptive immune responses, we generated transgenic mice (macIL-10tg mice) expressing an epitope-tagged IL-10 (Flag-IL-10) u...
