Interleukin (IL)-18 in the Differentiation and Maturation of Mast Cells and Its Implication in Mast-Cell Mediated Pathology

Download document

Recent studies have demonstrated a variety of roles for interleukin (IL)-18 in cytokine regulation and lymphocyte development, with results indicating roles in the development of both Th1 and Th2 responses depending on the other cytokines present. There is significant correlational evidence linking increased levels of IL-18 with allergic diseases in both human and animal models. Page 29 of the CELT Research Abstract Booklet.
