Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I as an Effector Element of the Cytokine IL-4 in the Development of a Leishmania major Infection
Certain cytokines modulate the expression of insulin-like growth factor- (IGF-) I. Since IL-4 and IGF-I promote growth of the protozoan Leishmania major, we here addressed their interaction in downregulating the expression of Igf-I mRNA using small interfering RNA (siRNA) in Leishmania major-infecte...
