TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a multiplex system for simultaneous detection of 17 cytokines (IL-1β, IL-2, IL 4, IL 5, IL 6, IL 7, IL 8, IL 9, IL 10, IL 11, IL 12, IL 13, interferon-γ, MCP-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 and tumour necrosis factor-α).

TL;DR: The results suggest that continual lymphocyte apoptosis and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages have a role in parasite persistence in the host, and that cyclooxygenase inhibitors have potential therapeutic application in the control of parasite replication and spread in Chagas' disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BCG-induced lipid body formation is TLR2 mediated and these structures function as signaling platforms in inflammatory mediator production, because compartmentalization of substrate and key enzymes within lipid bodies has impact on the capacity of activated leukocytes to generate increased amounts of eicosanoids during experimental infection by BCG.

TL;DR: LLLT can reduce TNFalpha expression after acute immunocomplex lung injury in rats, but LLLT dose appears to be critical for reducing TNF alpha release.

TL;DR: Results show that quite minor constituents of the LDL phosphatidylcholine pool are the exclusive precursors for PAF-like bioactivity in oxidized LDL.
