Statin Modulation of Human T-Cell Proliferation, IL-1 and IL-17 Production, and IFN- T Cell Expression: Synergy with Conventional Immunosuppressive Agents

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) have been demonstrated to be immunomodulatory for human immune-mediated disease and in experimental models. The aim of this study was to compare statin-mediated immunosuppressive effects on human T-cell responses in vitro with those of conventional immunosuppre...
