Interleukin-13 but Not Interleukin-4 Prolongs Eosinophil Survival and Induces Eosinophil Chemotaxis

The effects of recombinant human (rh) interleukin (IL)-4 or rhIL-13 on survival, and chemotactic activity of human eosinophils were examined. Only rhIL-13 prolonged eosinophil survival in a dose-dependent manner above 3 ng/ml. Eosinophil survival induced by rhIL-13 was inhibited by monoclonal antibo...

Zusammenfassung:The effects of recombinant human (rh) interleukin (IL)-4 or rhIL-13 on survival, and chemotactic activity of human eosinophils were examined. Only rhIL-13 prolonged eosinophil survival in a dose-dependent manner above 3 ng/ml. Eosinophil survival induced by rhIL-13 was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against IL-3 (p
