IL-18 in autoimmunity: review

TL;DR: It is proposed that the disturbed mechanism of innate immunity, resulting from macrophage activation through innate immunity receptors (TLR/IL-1R family), may be the basis of pathologically high levels of IL-18 production and activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutralization of IL-18 reduces neutrophil tissue accumulation and protects mice against lethal Escherichia Coli and Salmonella typhimurium endotoxemia

TL;DR: In conclusion, neutralization of IL-18 during lethal endotoxemia protects mice against lethal effects of LPS, partly mediated through inhibition of IFN-γ production, but mechanisms involving decreased neutrophil-mediated tissue damage due to the reduction of either chemokines or TNF may also be involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-1β-regulating antibody XOMA 052 (gevokizumab) in the treatment of acute exacerbations of resistant uveitis of Behçet's disease: an open-label pilot study

TL;DR: Well tolerated, XOMA 052 resulted in a rapid onset and sustained reduction in intraocular inflammation in patients with resistant uveitis and retinal vasculitis, and the effect was observed despite discontinuation of immunosuppressive agents and without the need to increase corticosteroid dosages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-18, more than a Th1 cytokine

TL;DR: A role for IL-18 has been implicated in several autoimmune diseases, myocardial function, emphysema, metabolic syndromes, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, macrophage activation syndrome, sepsis and acute kidney injury, although paradoxically, in some models of disease, IL- 18 is protective.
