Superantigen-induced T cell death by apoptosis: analysis on a single cell level and effect of IFN-gamma and IL-4 treatment.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCPsis) is an immunoglobulin E-mediated type I allergy caused by exposure to Japanese cedar pollen (JCP). Blood thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) levels are well known as an objective parameter for disease severity for several allergic disorders. The present study ai...
