Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is not only a co-stimulus for the induction of interferon-gamma but also has direct proinflammatory effects by inducing tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1, IL-8 and IL-6. However, the cascade of events leading to induction of cytokines by IL-18 is unclear. The aim o

We previously identified a specific receptor for alphafetoprotein (AFP) on human monocytes. Although AFP alters many immune cell functions, the effect of AFP on monocyte cytokine production is unknown. Because tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and interleukin-lj3 (IL-lp) are important cytokines in
To investigate both the involvement of chemokines in general and the relative importance of specific chemokines in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we characterized the effect of the monokines tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa) and interleukin-lp (IL-1p) on the synthesis of neutrophil-activating factors by sy
