M. Imoto et al., INHIBITION OF T-CELL RECEPTOR-MEDIATED SIGNAL-TRANSDUCTION BY ERBSTATIN, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 58(9), 1994, pp. 1700-1701
Erbstatin, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibited p59(fyn)- and p56(lc
k)-kinases in vitro with IC(50)s of 0.21 and 0.18 mu g/ml, respectivel
y. Inositol phosphates formation, enhanced by anti-CD3, was also inhib
ited by erbstatin. Moreover, erbstatin treatment prevented anti-CD3-in
duced interleukin 2 (IL-2) production, but phorbol ester-induced IL-2
production was not affected by erbstatin.
