Br J Haematol. 2008 Jan;140(1):59-70. Epub 2007 Nov 12.


Moreover, PLB-985 cells lost surface expression of IL-13Ralpha1 during differentiation, resulting in PLB-985D cells expressing only IL-4Ralpha fully responsive to IL-4, as judged by activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and Janus kinase 1.
