Systemic immune response at gastroesophageal reflux disease by Yu. V. Yevsyutina, A. S. Trukhmanov, V. T. Ivashkin, S. V. Lyamina, I. Yu. Malyshev

“…At erosive and/or ulcerative esophagitis in comparison to NERD and Barret's esophagus production of proinflammatory cytokines IL-8, the IFN-γ and TNF-α prevails, that indicates development of Th1-mediated immune response. At Barret's esophagus expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 is increased, that indicates on development of Th2-immune response.…”
