Porcine interleukin 18: cloning, characterization of the cDNA and expression with the baculovirus system.

abstract：:Neutrophil microparticles (NMs) are scarce in the circulation but are highly enriched at sites of inflammation and exert profound effects on immune cells. In the present study, we addressed whether NMs modulate cytokine-producing capacity of natural killer (NK) cells. NMs inhibited the production of IFN-γ and TNF-α bu...
