IL25 Cytotoxicity

Caption

This schematic shows the cytotoxicity of IL-25 on breast cancer cells that express IL-25 receptor (IL-25R). Nonmalignant mammary epithelial cells (MECs) do not express IL-25R and are resistant to apoptosis induced by IL-25, whereas cancer cells that express IL-25R are susceptible to IL-25–induced apoptosis.
