augments the incident response capabilities of federal agencies.
Although several laboratories reported that crosslinking CD5 on the surface augments T cells signaling by inducing calcium flux and enhancing mitogenic response [ 14, 15, 16], recent studies using CD5-deficient mice indicate that CD5 may be more important as a negative modulator of TCR and BCR signal transduction [ 17, 18].
Moreover, increasing the abundance of TRPC3 in cultured myotubes prolongs the period in which intracellular calcium is elevated following a depolarizing stimulus, sustains the transcription factor NFAT within the nucleus, and augments expression of NFAT-dependent target genes [40].
Thus by inducing migration and interaction with EC, IL-12 regulates crucial determinants of NK cell recruitment in tissues [ 20 ] . It is believed that IL-12 plays an instrumental role in tilting the immune response in favor of T helper type 1 by generation of Th1 cells and consequently initiates CMI [ 28 ] . Since IL-12 enhances cytotoxicity and augments proliferation by antigen specific T cells and NK cells, IL-12 may facilitate antigen specific and nonspecific cytotoxic immune defense against intracellular pathogens such as M. tuberculosis . An intriguing property of IL-12 is its capacity to induce proliferation by cytolytic T cell only upon co-stimulation with antigen.
One gene verified in this study, the small proline-rich protein 1A (Table 2), was characterized in detail by Bonilla et al, who show that it colocalizes with filamentous actin in membrane ruffles and augments axonal outgrowth [ 8 ] .
