Short-term stimulation with interleukin (IL)-4 enhances purified protein derivative-induced production of an eosinophil chemotactic lymphokine, but suppresses IL-5 production
The effect of interleukin (IL)-4 on eosinophil chemotactic lymphokine (ECL) production from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with purified protein derivative (PPD) was examined. The PBMC stimulated with PPD in the absence of IL-4 failed to produce evident ECL. However, PPD-induce...
