DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The cytokine IL-4 is well studied for its role in driving allergic/asthmatic CD4 T cell responses: However its impact on CD8 T cells is much less clear. Building on published and preliminary data, we propose that IL-4 plays a critical and unexpected role in supporting the CD8 T cell response to pathogens. These findings will be investigated further to define the exact role of IL-4 responsiveness in the CD8 T cell response, and additional work will test the novel concept that IL-4 cytokine therapy could be used to enhance CD8 T cell protective immunity against malarial parasites.

描述（由申请人提供）：细胞因子IL-4在驱动过敏/哮喘CD4 T细胞反应中的作用进行了充分的研究：但是，其对CD8 T细胞的影响还不清楚。在发布和初步数据的基础上，我们建议IL-4在支持CD8 T细胞对病原体的反应中起着至关重要的意外作用。这些发现将进一步研究，以定义IL-4响应性在CD8 T细胞反应中的确切作用，并且其他工作将测试IL-4细胞因子疗法可用于增强CD8 T细胞保护性免疫抗疟疾寄生虫的新概念。 。
