B. Schon et al., DETERMINATION OF CYTOKINE RECEPTORS AND G AMMA-INTERFERON FROM PATIENTS WITH ATOPIC-DERMATITIS, Allergologie, 17(6), 1994, pp. 245-250
In our study we determined cytokine receptor molecules and gamma-inter
feron in sera of patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. Serum leve
ls of interleukin 2 receptor (Il2R), interleukin 1 receptor antagonist
(Il1RA), IgE-binding factor (sCD-23) and gamma-interferon (gammaIFN)
were correlated to the activity of the disease. In correlation to the
severity of the disease we found elevated levels of Il2R, Il1RA and de
creased levels of sCD23 and gammaIFN.
