"The il-10r2 chain is ubiquitously expressed, whereas the il-10 activity is restricted mainly to cells of hematopoietic origin (35, 36). This raised the question of why the second chain of the il-10 receptor complex is widely expressed when its function was required only in limited cellular subsets. One hypothesis is that the il-10r2 chain is shared by receptors for ligands other than il-10"

"By contrast, IL-10–stimulated samples exhibited an almost identical expression pattern in both control and IL-10RB Mφs (Fig. 4 A), indicating that IL-10 by itself did not induce a strong transcriptional response even in WT Mφs. Interestingly, control Mφs stimulated with IL-10 plus LPS clustered closer to unstimulated samples, suggesting a partial inhibition of the LPS response by IL-10."
"Functionally active il-10 receptors are composed of two distinct subunits. The il-10 receptor ? Chain is a 110-kda polypeptide that plays the dominant role in mediating high affinity ligand binding and signal transduction. The il-10 receptor ? Subunit (also known as crf2_4) is predicted to be a 40-kda polypeptide that is largely required only for signaling."
