IgE production by normal human lymphocytes is induced by interleukin 4 and suppressed by interferons gamma and alpha and prostaglandin E2.

Abstract: The effect of human recombinant interleukin 4 (IL-4) on antibody production by normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells enriched for B cells was investigated.

“…The frequency of spleen cells that secreted IL-4 after stimulation with ␤gal was dramatically reduced by protective immunization with Ad vector, whereas IFN-␥ producing T cells had expanded. Since IL-4 is known as the promoter of IgE isotype switch, whereas in contrast IFN-␥ acts as an antagonist, 38,39 it is tempting to speculate that the shift in the balance of T cell subsets away from Th2-type (producing particularly IL-4) in favor of a Th1-type T lymphocyte response (with preferential production of IFN-␥) contributed to the inhibition of IgE Ab production observed in the vaccinated mice. Alternatively suppression of IgE Ab might be mediated by the observed induction of IFN-␥ secreting CD8 + effector T cells in AdCMV-␤gal immunized mice, since it was previously demonstrated that CD8 + CTL might possess inibitory capacity for IgE Ab production.…”

“…DC can produce immunostimulatory cytokines such as IFN-␣ or IL-12, which play important roles in T cell differentiation towards a type 1 helper T cell (Th1) response associated with cellular immunity. [26][27][28][29][30] Furthermore, like IL-12, IFN-␣ has been shown to mediate antiangiogenic effects in murine and human tumors.…”

“…Peripheral blood and bronchial TCC were selected from one atopic subject sensitized to house dust mites, according to a method previously described [7,21]. Briefly, PBMC were resuspended at 5 × 10 5 /ml in Iscove's medium (TechGen International, Les Ulis, France), supplemented as described by Yssel et al [7] and with 10% autologous serum from the same patient.…”
