pubmed:abstractText |
The vascular permeability factor (VPF) is a lymphokine that has been shown to play a role in minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS). A better understanding of the mechanisms that upregulate VPF release is of basic importance to control the immune system in nephrotic syndrome (NS). Interleukin (IL)-15 is a key inducer of differentiation of uncommitted T helper cells, which regulates cellular immunity. The cytokine IL-15 appears to mimic the stimulatory activity of IL-2 on T cells.
