There is a common program of effector T cell differentiation that is regulated by IL-2 and IL-12 signaling and the combined activities of the transcriptional regulators Blimp-1 and T-bet.
Title: A molecular threshold for effector CD8(+) T cell differentiation controlled by transcription factors Blimp-1 and T-bet.
Data show that treated rats exhibited the lowest degree of inflammatory infiltration of the spinal cord, as well as the lowest levels of nuclear factor kappa B, interleukin-12 and interferon-gamma.
Title: Variable effects of cyclophosphamide in rodent models of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.
IL-12 normalizes both p38 and ERK activation in T cells, but the restoration of ERK plays a predominant role in IL-12-mediated restoration of T cell IL-2 and IFN-gamma production after EtOH and burn injury.
Title: ERK and not p38 pathway is required for IL-12 restoration of T cell IL-2 and IFN-gamma in a rodent model of alcohol intoxication and burn injury.
Measles virus infection leads to a decrease in IL-12 secretion and an increase in IL-4 secretion, but this does not correlate with immune suppression.
Title: Cytokine imbalance after measles virus infection has no correlation with immune suppression.
Data present the upregulation of IFN-gamma by Leuconostoc mesenteroides under pro-Th2 conditions and the requirement of NF-kappaB, p38 and JNK for IL-12 production.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
