Investigating role of IL-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Ra) in murine models of atopic dermatitis by Scibiorek, Martyna

“…We investigated the importance of interleukin 4 receptor alpha (IL- 4Rα) signalling specifically on B and T cells to understand the requirement of this signalling axis in epicutaneous skin sensitisation during AD. We investigated 3 models of AD using House dust mite (HDM), Ovalbumin (OVA) and low-calcemic analog of vitamin D (MC903) on mouse strains lacking IL-4Ra on various B and T cells. …”

The role of Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 during experimental helminth infections in murine model by Mosala, Paballo Pertunia

“…In conclusion, the current study demonstrated both positive and negative roles for cysLTs signaling through cysLTR1 during different helminth infection models. Absence of cysLTR1 during N. brasiliensis leads to delayed expulsion of adult worms and impaired recall of memory responses, indicating that cysteinyl leukotriene signaling via cysLTR1 is essential for orchestrating host protective responses. …”

Investigating the role of IL-4Rα mediated signalling on Foxp3⁺ T regulatory cells during cutaneous leishmaniasis by Maine, Rebeng

“…To investigate this further, a novel BALB/c model was utilized in which the IL-4Rα chain was conditionally knocked out on Treg cells (Foxp3ᶜʳᵉIL-4Rα⁻^/ˡᵒˣ mice). …”
