Role of interleukin 2 on enhancement of concanavalin A-induced human peripheral blood lymphocyte proliferation by murine B cell mitogens.

abstract：:H5N1 and H9N2 are the most important causes of avian influenza in China. Chemokines and cytokines play important roles in inflammatory response that clearly differ between H5N1 and H9N2 infection. To investigate whether chemokines and cytokines are differentially regulated following H5N1 and H9N2 AIVs infection, dynam...
