“…Unlike previous reports, T cells stimulated with Con A (Figure 2) had higher levels of IL-10 production when obtained from individuals with the A allele and B cells stimulated with anti-IgM displayed the same trend (Figure 3). Our results are consistent with a recent report that showed peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, from individuals homozygous for the A allele at position -571, produced higher levels of IL-10 than individuals homozygous for the C allele, though in their study there was additional contribution to IL-10 production from other SNPs on the IL-10 promoter [37]. Some of these differences in comparison to the other reports may reflect individual variability in representation of distinct mononuclear cell populations amongst PBMCs.…”

“…Similarly, the IL13‐1055T allele has been associated with both low schistosome burden in Mali and an increased asthma risk in Europe [108, 109], and the ADRB2 Gly16 allele has been associated with low Ascaris burden in Venezuela and more severe asthma [110, 111]. Helminth‐mediated immuno‐modulation may also be affected by host genetics, as IL‐10 polymorphisms have been associated with SPT positivity and IL‐10 production in children in Gabon [112].…”

“…32 Furthermore, it might also lead to initiation and amplification of Th2 responses. 15 Arimitsu et al 33 confirmed the higher production of IL-18 by monocytes with the −137 GG genotype. The authors indicated that the −137 G allele contributed to the higher tendency to produce increased amount of IL-18; they also suggested its reflection on allergic disease phenotypes.…”
