…nce; it is not a direct measurement of IFN-γ in the blood. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects regulatory variation with the Th1 immune pathway, macrophage activation, and inflammatory signaling. The exact allele and testing method matt…

… same gene can have many variants with different meanings. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser follows IFN-γ signaling into T-cell and macrophage activity and the relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress. A genotype needs to be con…

…ch cells are involved and what is happening in the tissue. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses IL-10 promoter variants and the balance between immune defense and regulation. This teaching connects IL-10 with macrophages, T cells, and o…

… IL-12 combines p40 with p35; IL-23 combines p40 with p19. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser explains why the shared p40 subunit connects the Th1 and Th17 immune pathways. This also helps explain the difference between treatments that target p…

…sues. It works closely with IL-4 but is a distinct signal. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects IL-13 with eosinophilic and allergic conditions and explains the shared IL-4 receptor alpha signaling pathway. Dupilumab is discussed as a me…

…to neighboring cells, a process called trans-presentation. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects IL15RA with natural killer cells, CD8+ T cells, and signaling in muscle and joint tissue. The cytokine IL-15 and its receptor IL15RA are rela…

…ursor protein and is processed to release its active form. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses caspase-3, CD4-related immune-cell recruitment, and inflammatory activity in tissues. This is one part of an immune network rather than a st…

…e other cells to release signals that recruit neutrophils. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses rs2275913, an IL17A promoter variant, alongside psoriasis, inflammatory joint disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. He explains how IL-23…

…n be activated by caspase-1 through inflammasome pathways. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects NLRP3 activation, IL-18, and interferon-gamma signaling. IL-18 works through a receptor system that includes IL18R1 and IL18RAP, linking an i…
