IL-6 is an accessory signal in the alternative CD2-mediated pathway of T cell activation.
TL;DR: The data suggest that IL-6 is important as an accessory signal for T cell growth in the CD2 pathway of T cell activation, which apparently was independent of the autocrine growth factors IL-2 or IL-4.

A Fifth 2S Albumin Isoform Is Present in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: In the course of experiments to separate individual 2 s albumin isoforms, the authors have now isolated a previously unknown isoform that is not encoded by any of the known genes.
Fever produced by intrahypothalamic injection of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6
TL;DR: The observation supports the view that fever induced by systemic endogenous production of IL-1 and IL-6 is due to a direct effect on the thermoregulatory center and may not require production of mediators, such as prostaglandins, at sites distant from the center.

Molecular Cloning of Murine Interferon Gamma (MuIFN-γ) cDNA and Its Expression in Heterologous Mammalian Cells
TL;DR: A complete cDNA clone of murine interferon-gamma (MuIFN-Gamma) was obtained by recombining two appropriate segments from partial cDNA clones originally identified by colony hybridization with rat IFN-gammas chromosomal gene fragments as probes.

Cytokines derived from activated human mononuclear cells markedly stimulate transferrin secretion by cultured Sertoli cells.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the mixture of cytokines present in PBMC-CM is a more powerful stimulator of Sertoli cell transferrin secretion than any other agonist known at the present time.
