Truncated Chicken Interleukin-1β with Increased Biologic Activity [PDF]
Chicken interleukin-1β (ChIL-1β) is synthesized as a precursor molecule that unlike its mammalian counterpart, lacks a typical caspase-1 cleavage site. Therefore, it was unclear if proteolytic cleavage of ChIL-1β can occur and if cleavage might modulate ...

Human mid-gestation amniotic fluid contains interleukin-16 bioactivity [PDF]
CD4-positive cells are detectable in the human fetal gastrointestinal tract from 11 weeks of gestation. Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is a chemoattractant for CD4(+) cells and, via fetal swallowing of amniotic fluid, could mediate the influx of CD4(+) cells ...

Interleukin-5 modulates interleukin-8 secretion in eosinophilic inflammation
Serum and BALF (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) IL-8 levels and serum levels were investigated in Tox ocara canis infected guinea-pigs and the role of IL-5 as a modulator of cytokine secretion was studied.

Interleukin-8 predicts short-term mortality in acute-on-chronic liver failure patients with hepatitis B-related-related cirrhosis background [PDF]
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a distinctive and severe syndrome, marked by an excessive systemic inflammatory response. In vivo, interleukin 8 (IL-8) is an essential pro-inflammatory cytokine.

The significance of interleukin 8 in urine [PDF]
To assess the implications of detection of interleukin 8 (IL-8) in urine.IL-8 was measured by immunoassay in all 305 urine samples from children aged 0-18.4 years received by our microbiology laboratory during four weeks, with a retrospective structured case note audit for all those in whom IL-8, white cells, or bacteria were detected.
