Pretreatment with Glucocorticoids Enhances T-Cell Effector Function: Possible Implication for Immune Rebound Accompanying Glucocorticoid Withdrawal
Glucocorticoids (GCs) exert their immunosuppressive/antiproliferative effects largely through inhibition of cytokine expression, and paradoxically upregulate the expression of (proinflammatory) cytokine receptors on select nonlymphoid cells. Clinically, withdrawal of GCs was frequently associated wi...
