Interleukin-6 and the acute phase response

TL;DR: Systemic reaction characterized by fever, leukocytosis, increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate, increases in LeucocyTosis secretion of ACTH and glucocorticoids, and by dramatic changes in the concentration of some plasma ,l' proteins.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Inflammation and Autoimmune Diseases

TL;DR: Animal experiments and clinical intervention studies indicate that omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and, therefore, might be useful in the management of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass

TL;DR: Understanding of the interactions between these markers of cellular and humoral responses to cardiopulmonary bypass will enable more effective intervention to reduce the deleterious effects and improve the outlook for patients undergoing cardiac operations beyond the 1990s.

Serum amyloid A, the major vertebrate acute-phase reactant.

TL;DR: Although the precise role of A-SAA in host defense during inflammation has not been defined, many potential clinically important functions have been proposed for individual SAA family members, including involvement in lipid metabolism/transport, induction of extracellular-matrix-degrading enzymes, and chemotactic recruitment of inflammatory cells to sites of inflammation.

Complementary DNA for a novel human interleukin (BSF-2) that induces B lymphocytes to produce immunoglobulin

TL;DR: The molecular cloning, structural analysis and functional expression of the cDNA encoding human B SF-2 indicated that BSF-2 is functionally and structurally unlike other known proteins.

Interferon beta 2/B-cell stimulatory factor type 2 shares identity with monocyte-derived hepatocyte-stimulating factor and regulates the major acute phase protein response in liver cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that monocyte-derived hepatocyte-stimulating factor and IFN-beta 2 share immunological and functional identity and that IFN -beta 2, also known as B-cell stimulatory factor and hybridoma plasmacytoma growth factor, has the hepatocyte as a major physiologic target and thereby is essential in controlling the hepatic acute phase response.

Interleukin-1 and the pathogenesis of the acute-phase response.

TL;DR: The full spectrum of the response includes dramatic increases in the synthesis of hepatic acute-phase proteins, which contribute to elevated erythrocyte-sedimentation rates.

Cachectin/tumor necrosis factor regulates hepatic acute-phase gene expression.

TL;DR: The monokine, cachectin/tumor necrosis factor differs from interleukin 1 in primary structure and in recognition by a distinct cellular receptor, and the possibility that recombinant-generated human TNF regulates hepatic acute-phase gene expression was examined.
