Ocular inflammation stimulated by intravitreal interleukin-8 and interleukin-1.

P-80: Interleukin 6, Interleukin 1? , Estradiol and Testosterone Concentrations in Serum and Follicular Fluid of Females with Stimulated and Non-Stimulated Ovaries

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene expression and secretion by cytokine-stimulated human retinal pigment epithelial cells.

Retinal and choroidal inflammatory lesions are important causes of visual loss, but the mechanisms regulating intraocular inflammation remain poorly understood. By virtue of its position at the blood-retina barrier, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells may be critical to the initiation and propagation of ocular inflammation. Previously we showed that cytokine-stimulated RPE cells produce ...

Wrestlers’ immune cells produce higher interleukin-6 and lower interleukin-12 and interleukin-13 in response toin vitro mitogen activation

Objective(s):Although recent investigations have shown chronic inflammation and inflammation-associated diseases might be ameliorated by exercise; little is known about the relation between exercise training with anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted to compare interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-γ) le...

Evaluation of Interleukin17and Interleukin 23 expression in patients with active and latent tuberculosis infection

Objective(s): Tuberculosis is one of the most important infectious diseases with high mortality rates worldwide, especially in developing countries. Interleukin17 (IL-17) is an important acquired immunity cytokine, which is mainly produced by CD4+TH17 cells. It can recruit neutrophils and macrophages to the infected site in the lungs. IL-23 is one of the most important inducers of IL-17. In the...

Suppression of immune-mediated ocular inflammation in mice by interleukin 1 receptor antagonist administration.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of an interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) on the development of immune-mediated ocular inflammation in mice. METHODS Recombinant, human, nonglycosylated IL-1RA (anakinra [kineret]) was tested for its inhibitory effects in 2 systems: (1) experimental autoimmune uveitis induced by interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein in B10.A mice using routine pr...
