Role for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the generation of human T regulatory type 1 cells
Sergio Rutella,Luca Pierelli,Giuseppina Bonanno,Simona Sica,Franco Ameglio,Ettore Capoluongo,Andrea Mariotti,Giovanni Scambia,Giuseppe D'Onofrio,Giuseppe Leone +9 more
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that CD4(+) T cells exposed to G-CSF in vivo acquire the properties of T regulatory (Tr) cells once triggered in vitro through the T-cell receptor, including a peculiar cytokine production profile, an intrinsic low proliferative capacity, and a contact-independent suppression of antigen-driven proliferation.

Effects of aerosolized interferon-alpha in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
S. Giosue,Massimo Casarini,Lucilla Alemanno,Gianni Galluccio,Paolo Mattia,Gioacchino Pedicelli,Lionello Rebek,A. Bisetti,Franco Ameglio +8 more
TL;DR: Evaluation of aerosolized IFN-alpha treatment in combination with conventional antimycobacterial therapy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis suggests that IFn-alpha administration may favorably affect the evolution of pulmonary tuberculosis when combined with antimyCob bacterial therapy.

Unidirectional budding of HIV-1 at the site of cell-to-cell contact is associated with co-polarization of intercellular adhesion molecules and HIV-1 viral matrix protein.
Stefano Fais,Maria Rosaria Capobianchi,Isabella Abbate,Concetta Castilletti,Massimo Gentile,Paola Cordiali Fei,Franco Ameglio,Ferdinando Dianzani +7 more
TL;DR: The impressive concentration of ICAM at cell sites where most virions are released may account for the acquisition of these membrane proteins by the HIV‐1 progeny, and may be important for the cell‐mediated spread.

Cytokine Levels Correlate with a Radiologic Score in Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Massimo Casarini,Franco Ameglio,Lucilla Alemanno,Profeta Zangrilli,Paolo Mattia,Gregorino Paone,A. Bisetti,S. Giosue +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence and the concentrations of nine different modulators in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the correlations between cytokines and HRCT total score were better than those observed with the individual radiologic findings.

Human Interferon-γ Enhances the Expression of Class I and Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex Products in Neoplastic Cells More Effectively than Interferon-α and Interferon-β
TL;DR: Human interferon-γ was more effective than interferons-β or -α in stimulating production of immunoassociated antigens; HLA-A, -B, and -C; and β2-microglobulin in human M14 and Namalva cells.
