IL-18 has IL-12-independent effects in delayed-type hypersensitivity: studies in cell-mediated crescentic glomerulonephritis.
IL-18 (formerly known as IFN-gamma-inducing factor) enhances Th1 responses via effects that are thought to be dependent on and synergistic with IL-12. The potential for IL-18 to exert IL-12-independent effects in delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses was studied in a model of Th1-directed, DTH-mediated crescentic glomerulonephritis induced by planting an Ag in glomeruli of sensitized mi...
متن کاملIL-18 (IFN-gamma-inducing factor) regulates early cytokine production in, and promotes resolution of, bacterial infection in mice.
IL-12-induced IFN-gamma production is essential for clearance of Yersinia enterocolitica infection. Similar to IL-12, the recently described cytokine IL-18 (IFN-gamma-inducing factor) is produced by macrophages and induces IFN-gamma production in spleen cells. Therefore, we have investigated the role of IL-18 in Yersinia infection of mice. Heat-killed yersinia-triggered IL-18-promoted IFN-gamma...
متن کاملAn alternate pathway for type 1 T cell differentiation.
IFN-regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) gene-disrupted mice are defective in IL-12 and IL-18 gene expression at the transcriptional and post-translational level respectively. The mutant mouse mounts a type 2 T cell response upon bacterial infection because of the impaired induction of the IL-12 p40 gene and IFN-gamma-producing type 1 T cells are not induced. We showed here, however, that different path...
متن کاملThe Impact of IL-18 and IFN-γ on Severity of Malaria and Quality of Treatment
Background & Objective: In human malaria, genotype of cytokines affect immune system. The impact of genotype -137G/C in IL-18 and +874A/T in IFN-γ on the severity of malaria and the quality of treatment – as factors to form asymptomatic persons in endemic regions- has been investigated.Materials & Methods: 100 patients and 102 healthy persons were evaluated by Nested-PCR and thick blood fil...
متن کاملEx vivo culture with interleukin (IL)-12 improves CD8(+) T-cell adoptive immunotherapy for murine leukemia independent of IL-18 or IFN-gamma but requires perforin.
In animal models and clinical trials, adoptive transfer of activated, antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells mediates tumor regression in a cell dose-dependent manner. The cytokine interleukin (IL)-12 promotes CD8(+) T-cell cytotoxicity and, with IL-18, synergistically up-regulates IFN-gamma release. We have shown that culturing CD8(+) T cells ex vivo with IL-12 and IL-18 enhanced antitumor responses ...
