Journal Article

Response to local inflammation of IL-1 beta-converting enzyme- deficient mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in turpentine-induced tissue necrosis, precursor IL-1 beta is processed by non-ICE proteases, but in complement-mediated inflammation, ICE participates in the processing of the IL- 1 beta precursor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist competitively inhibits the binding of interleukin-1 to the type II interleukin-1 receptor.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the IL-1ra recognizes and blocks IL-2 binding to the type II IL- 1 receptor (IL-1RtII) on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and Raji human B-lymphoma cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-18 and the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: TheIL-18 binding protein, a naturally occurring and specific inhibitor of IL-18, neutralizes IL- 18 activities and has been shown to be safe in patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular basis of fever in humans

TL;DR: It is suggested that leukocytic pyrogen, in addition to producing fever, also stimulates non-hypothalamic cells involved in aspects of the acute-phase response, and may be an important mechanism for host defenses.
