In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects and possible mechanisms of anti-CD(5)2 treatment on interleukin-10 (IL-10) deficient mice. Anti-mouse CD(52) monoclonal antibody was administrated to C3H. IL-10(-/-)mice. The disease activity index, histological grading of colitis, serum Th1/17 related cytokines, percentage of CD(25+)Foxp3(+) T cells in colon as well as CD(25), Foxp3 gene expression were measured. Our data suggested that anti-CD(52) treatment inhibited colitis in C3H.IL-10(-/-)mice and it might be related to the suppression of Th1/17 related inflammation and the promotion of regulatory T cell differentiation.

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...
