1. It has been proposed that macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β) induces fever via a cyclooxygenase-independent pathway. The roles of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in MIP-1β-induced fever were investigated in the rat, by using specific antibodies against these cytokines. 2. The intrahypothalamic injection of anti-MIP-1β, 15 min before the injection at the same site of MIP-1β significantly blocked the fever induced by this cytokine. 3. The pre-treatment with antibodies against IL-1β or IL-6 receptors, did not alter MIP-1β-induced fever. 4. These data support the hypothesis that MIP-1β produces fever via a parallel pathway, independent of the classical prostaglandin-dependent pathway adduced in the development of fever for IL-1β and IL-6. |
