- _5 value "IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) is a naturally occurring and specific inhibitor of IL-18. When recombinant IL-18BP was added to PBMC cultures, unexpectedly, spontaneous PGE(2) production increased. PGE(2) production was also increased by the addition of IL-18BP to PBMC stimulated with either IL-1beta or IL-12 and also in whole blood cultures stimulated with Staphylococcus epidermidis. These studies demonstrate that IL-18BP decreases endogenous IL-18 activity by reducing IFN-gamma-mediated responses." provenance.
