Journal ArticleDOI

Unique functions of the type II interleukin 4 receptor identified in mice lacking the interleukin 13 receptor α1 chain

TL;DR: Type I and II IL-4 receptors exert distinct effects on immune responses, and Il13ra1−/− mice showed much less mortality after infection with Schistosoma mansoni and much more susceptibility to Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schistosoma mansoni infection in eosinophil lineage–ablated mice

TL;DR: The data indicate that eosinophil ablation has no impact on traditional measures of disease in the S mansoni infection model in mice, but eos inophils may have unexplored immunomodulatory contributions to this disease process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lewis base activation of Lewis acids: catalytic, enantioselective addition of silyl ketene acetals to aldehydes.

TL;DR: The high levels of regio-, anti diastereo-, and enantioselectivity observed in these reactions can be rationalized through consideration of an open transition structure where steric interactions between the silyl cation complex and the approaching nucleophile are dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Th2 cytokine-Induced Alterations in Intestinal Smooth Muscle Function Depend on Alternatively Activated Macrophages

TL;DR: Data show that the phenotype of macrophages is determined by the local immune environment and that alternatively activated macrophage markers play a major role in the effects of Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, on intestinal smooth muscle function.
