Human IL-23-producing type 1 macrophages promote but IL-10-producing type 2 macrophages subvert immunity to (myco)bacteria

TL;DR: IL-23 rather than IL-12 is the primary type 1 cytokine produced by activated proinflammatory Mphi-1, indicating that Mphi heterogeneity thus may be an important determinant of immunity and disease outcome in intracellular bacterial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic and functional profiling of human proinflammatory type-1 and anti-inflammatory type-2 macrophages in response to microbial antigens and IFN-gamma- and CD40L-mediated costimulation.

TL;DR: It is remarkable that Mφ‐2 secreted high levels of IL‐8, MCP‐1, IP‐10, MIP‐1β, and RANTES, suggesting an active role for these cells in regulating cellular immunity and homeostasis, and demonstrates how M φ‐1/M⩽2 polarization can differentially skew the host response toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory immune responses, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics, cytokines and human infectious disease: lessons from weakly pathogenic mycobacteria and salmonellae.

TL;DR: Host genetic factors are important in determining the outcome of infections caused by intracellular pathogens, including mycobacteria and salmonellae, but until now have been poorly characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Divergent effects of IL-12 and IL-23 on the production of IL-17 by human T cells.

TL;DR: The roles of exogenous (recombinant) and endogenous (macrophage‐derived) IL‐12 and IL‐23, on IL‐17‐induction in human T‐cells are investigated to provide novel insights into the regulation of immunity, inflammation and immunopathology.
