Effects of IL-4 and IL-13 on total and allergen specific IgE production by cultured PBMC from allergic patients determined with recombinant pollen allergens.
BACKGROUND: Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 have been shown to be potent switch factors for IgE synthesis in human B cells. OBJECTIVE: In this study we investigated the effects of recombinant human IL-4 and IL-13 on total and allergen specific IgE synthesis by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)...
