Spaceflight influences both mucosal and peripheral cytokine production in PTN-Tg and wild type mice.

Spaceflight influences both mucosal and peripheral cytokine production in PTN-Tg and wild type mice.

Spaceflight is associated with several health issues including diminished immune efficiency. Effects of long-term spaceflight on selected immune parameters of wild type (Wt) and transgenic mice over-expressing pleiotrophin under the human bone-specific osteocalcin promoter (PTN-Tg) were examined usi...
