摘要:
The invention describes nucleic acid sequences which code for the interleukin 9 receptor (IL9-R) molecule. These sequences may be used as probes to identify cells expressing the molecule, and as agents to transfect recipient cells.
摘要:
A method for inhibiting production of IgE, and a method for enhancing production of IgG are taught. The methods are linked to the role of interleukin 9 in antibody production. Specifically, production of IgG is potentiated by administering either to a subject or a cell culture a combination of interleukin 4 and interleukin 9. Production of IgE is inhibited by administering an amount of an interleukin 9 inhibitor to a subject.
