IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in NK cell activation and T(h)1 response. IL-18 has a structural homology to IL-1, particularly IL-1beta. IL-18R, composed of IL-1R-related protein (IL-18Ralpha) and IL-1R accessory pro

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) enhances interferon gamma (IFNgamma) production and natural killer (NK) cell activity, and elicits protective antitumor effects in vivo. IL-18 and IL-12 synergistically augment IFNgamma production reportedly because IL-12 enhan

We have recently reported the successful purification and characterization of the human interleukin 18 (IL-18) receptor (R) using a monoclonal antibody (MAb) of the IgM kappa class (117-10C) after immunizing mice with cells of the Hodgkin's disease-d

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) was identified as a molecule that induces IFN-gamma production and enhances NK cell cytotoxicity. Characterization of the receptor for human IL-18 (hIL-18R) is important for investigating the physiological role of IL-18 in natu

Interleukin (IL)-18 was identified as a molecule that induces IFN-γ production and enhances NK cell cytotoxicity. In this paper, we report upon the purification and characterization of human IL-18 receptor (hIL-18R). We selected the Hodgkin’s dise

The mechanism underlying the differentiation of CD4+ T cells into functionally distinct subsets (Th1 and Th2) is incompletely understood, and hitherto unidentified cytokines may be required for the functional maturation of these cells. Here we report

To develop a new gene therapy model for cancer, a clonal cell line (KMST-6/TNF) which produces human tumor necrosis factor alpha (hTNF-alpha) has been developed by introducing hTNF-alpha cDNA into a human immortal fibroblast cell line (KMST-6). The c

Recently, human interleukin 18 (hIL-18) cDNA was cloned, and the recombinant protein with a tentatively assigned NH2-terminal amino acid sequence was generated. However, natural hIL-18 has not yet been isolated, and its cellular processing is therefo

Interferon-gamma-inducing factor/interleukin-18 is a novel cytokine that reportedly augments natural killer (NK) activity in human and mouse peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures in vitro and has recently been designated IL-18. In this study, IL

The novel cytokine interferon-gamma-inducing factor (IGIF) augments natural killer (NK) cell activity in cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), similarly to the structurally unrelated cytokine interleukin (IL)-12. IGIF has been
