IL-28B down-regulates regulatory T cells but does not improve the protective immunity following tuberculosis subunit vaccine immunization.

abstract：:Protein antigens elicit humoral responses in mice that consist predominantly of IgG1 antibodies. We have now investigated the ability of IL-12, a cytokine reported to augment IgG2a anti-hapten responses through activation of Th1 cells, to alter antibody responses to hen eggwhite lysozyme (HEL). The normal response of ...
