The relative expression of B7 isoforms on APC may also be critical in determining the nature
and extent of the immune response [16-21]. Immunoregulatory cytokines may influence the
development of the Thl versus Th2 immune responses by altering the levels of B7 isoform
expression on APC. In particular, IL-10 and IL-12 have been suggested to elicit their
biological effects via B7 and CD28 molecules respectively [22, 231. The present studies

The present studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of immunoregulatory cytokines on B7 isoform expression on resting and activated monocytes and B cells.
