Investigation of intracellular signals generated by γ-interferon and IL-4 leading to the induction of class II antigen expression by S. Vassiliadis, N. Kyrpides, D. Stravopodis, M. Grigoriou, I. Athanassakis, J. Papamatheakis

“…Determination of the pathway followed by various cytokines can be achieved using specific inhibitors which include theophylline (TPH), TMB-8 and W7 that hinder calmodulin binding to Ca2+; sphingosine (SPH), H7 and staurosporine that inhibit protein kinase C (PKC) activation; and mevalonate (MEV) or the anti-p21ras antibody which block G-proteins. This study shows that the immunologically important class II antigens in human cells are up-regulated predominately via the same pathway after gamma-interferon (γ-IFN) treatment, whereas murine cells are activated by other signalling routes. …”
