Journal ArticleDOI

ULBPs, Novel MHC Class I–Related Molecules, Bind to CMV Glycoprotein UL16 and Stimulate NK Cytotoxicity through the NKG2D Receptor

TL;DR: Masking of NK cell recognition of ULBP or MIC antigens by UL16 provides a potential mechanism by which human cytomegalovirus-infected cells might evade attack by the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble gp130 is the natural inhibitor of soluble interleukin‐6 receptor transsignaling responses

TL;DR: Recombinant sgp130 protein could be used to block the anti-apoptotic effect of sIL-6R on lamina propria cells from Crohn disease patients and is expected to be a valuable therapeutic tool to specifically block disease states in which sIL -6R transsignaling responses exist, e.g. in morbusCrohn disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The soluble interleukin‐6 receptor is generated by shedding

TL;DR: The ligand‐binding subunit (gp80) of the human interleukin‐6 receptor (IL‐6R) was transiently expressed in COS‐7 cells and the metabolically labeled protein was shown to be quantitatively released from the membrane within 20 h.
Journal ArticleDOI

The function of the soluble interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor in vivo: sensitization of human soluble IL-6 receptor transgenic mice towards IL-6 and prolongation of the plasma half-life of IL-6.

TL;DR: It is reported here that in the presence of hsIL-6R, mice are hypersensitized towards hIL- 6, mounting an acute phase protein gene induction at significantly lower IL-6 dosages compared to control animals, and the detected acute phase response persists for a longer period of time.
