IgG4-related disease in a patient with HIV infection.

TL;DR: A 47-year-old HIV-positive man with good immune and virological status presented with chronic multiple enlarged lymph nodes, lung disease and eosinophilia, and an elevated serum IgG4 level led to request immunohistochemistry of a lymph node sample, which confirmed the diagnosis of IgG 4-related disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunoglobulin G4 Levels.

TL;DR: A 67-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia was evaluated for unintentional weight loss and increasing fasting blood glucose values over the past 6 months and fine-needle aspiration of the pancreas showed no malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colovesical fistula caused by glucocorticoid therapy for IgG4-related intrapelvic mass.

TL;DR: Clinicians must be watchful for the complications of responses to corticosteroids, such as fistulization, when the mass lesion of IgG4-RD is adjacent to multiple luminal organs.

IgG4-Related Retroperitoneal Fibrosis: A Rare Association With Riedel’s Thyroiditis

TL;DR: In this paper, a 53-year-old man with a history of Riedel's thyroiditis was presented for severe localized lower abdominal and suprapubic pain due to obstructive uropathy from extensive retroperitoneal fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multimodal imaging of igg4-related papillitis and retinal disease

TL;DR: Multiodal imaging findings in a patient with immunoglobulin-4–related ophthalmic disease with papillitis and subretinal lesions are presented, which broadens the spectrum of ocular involvement associated with IgG4-related disease.

TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties.

TL;DR: Two types of cloned helper T cells are described, defined primarily by differences in the pattern of lymphokines ynthesized, and the different functions of the two types of cells and their lymphokine synthesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation of Effector CD4 T Cell Populations

TL;DR: This review summarizes the discovery, functions, and relationships among Th cells; the cytokine and signaling requirements for their development; the networks of transcription factors involved in their differentiation; the epigenetic regulation of their key cytokines and transcription factors; and human diseases involving defective CD4 T cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative Activation of Macrophages: An Immunologic Functional Perspective

TL;DR: The cellular sources of these cytokines, receptor signaling pathways, and induced markers and gene signatures are reviewed and the concept of macrophage activation in the context of the immune response is revisit.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation of IL-10 production by immune cells

TL;DR: Understanding the specific molecular events that regulate the production of IL-10 will help to answer the remaining questions that are important for the design of new strategies of immune intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

High serum IgG4 concentrations in patients with sclerosing pancreatitis.

TL;DR: Patients with sclerosing pancreatitis have high serum IgG4 concentrations, providing a useful means of distinguishing this disorder from other diseases of the pancreas or biliary tract.
