Journal Article

Absence of induction of IL-1 production in human monocytes by complement fragments.

TL;DR: Results indicate that various solid phase or soluble C fragments, including C3b, iC3b), C3d, C3a, C5a, Ba or Bb do not induce IL-1 production in human monocytes in the absence of contaminating endotoxin.
Journal Article

Intracellular IL-1 receptor antagonist promoter: cell type-specific and inducible regulatory regions.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the ability of this proximal promoter region to control expression is strongly influenced, both positively and negatively, by other upstream cis-acting elements in a cell type-specific manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement activation pathways in murine immune complex-induced arthritis and in C3a and C5a generation in vitro.

TL;DR: It is concluded that neither the CP nor LP alone is capable of mediating CAIA in vivo and that mouse sera exhibits a high level of IgG‐induced C5a generation in vitro through either the CP or AP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of collagen-induced arthritis in mice genetically deficient in extracellular superoxide dismutase.

TL;DR: The absence of EC-SOD leads to more severe CIA, which may be accompanied by enhanced production of the proinflammatory cytokines IFNgamma, TNFalpha, and IL-1beta, and decreasedProduction of the antiinflammatory cytokine IL- 1Ra in the joints.
