Talk:Interleukin 10
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While I haven't researched IL-10 in any fashion since 1998, I believe that the cytokines that are inhibited by IL-10 on CD4+ T cells depended upon the species: IL-10 inhibits both Th1 and Th2 cytokines in human T cells (although there was debate as to whether there was a larger inhibition of Th1 cytokines), whereas it only significantly inhibited Th1 cytokines in mice.
Also, I believe that IL-10 could also facilitate antibody class switching in B cells, but that wasn't near my area of research. I don't have the references on me, but I can dig them up if someone wants more detail. Volantares 08:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
