    Infect Immun 66:6058-62. 1998
    ..IL-10 and IL-4 production was induced weakly and not at all, respectively. Our data show that nonpathogenic lactobacilli and pathogenic streptococci can induce Th1 type cytokines IL-12, IL-18, and IFN-gamma in human PBMC...
  3. ncbi IFN-alpha and IL-18 synergistically enhance IFN-gamma production in human NK cells: differential regulation of Stat4 activation and IFN-gamma gene expression by IFN-alpha and IL-12
    S Matikainen
    Department of Microbiology, National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland
    Eur J Immunol 31:2236-45. 2001
    ..Our results demonstrate that IFN-alpha and IL-18 are important innate cytokines in inducing NK cell IFN-gamma production...

    Genes Immun 2:349-55. 2001
    ..IFN-gamma enhanced the expression of TLR1 and TLR2 mRNA in macrophages, and TLR3 in epithelial and endothelial cells. The data suggests a novel role for IFNs in the activation of innate immunity...
