Glucocorticoid-mediated immunomodulation: hydrocortisone enhances immunosuppressive endogenous retroviral protein (p15E) expression in mouse immune cells.

abstract：:Both antigen specific and non-specific immunoregulation by cells have been described in jirds infected with Brugia pahangi, but the contribution of serum factors to immunoregulatory phenomena in this infection has not been examined. The present study determined the effect of serum from normal or B. pahangi infected ji...
