The role of interleukin-18 and interleukin-18 binding protein in K/BxN serum transfer-induced arthritis [PDF]
BackgroundInterleukin-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine, the activity of which is regulated by its natural inhibitor, IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP). Elevated circulating levels of IL-18 have been observed in patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic ...

A unique bivalent binding and inhibition mechanism by the yatapoxvirus interleukin 18 binding protein. [PDF]
Interleukin 18 (IL18) is a cytokine that plays an important role in inflammation as well as host defense against microbes. Mammals encode a soluble inhibitor of IL18 termed IL18 binding protein (IL18BP) that modulates IL18 activity through a negative ...
