Abstract

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) decreases production of IL-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in vitro, and neutralization of IL-10 in mice leads to elevation of the same monokines. We test here whether this monokine-suppressing property of IL-10 confers on it the capacity to protect mice from lipopolysaccharide-induced shock, a monokine-mediated inflammatory reaction. A single injection of 0.5-1 microgram of recombinant murine IL-10 reproducibly protected BALB/c mice from a lethal intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin. This result was obtained whether the IL-10 was administered concurrently with, or 30 min after the injection of endotoxin. The protective effect of IL-10 was reversed by prior injection of neutralizing anti-IL-10 antibodies, and correlated with a substantial decrease in endotoxin-induced TNF-alpha release. These data implicate IL-10 as a candidate for treatment of bacterial sepsis, and more generally as an effective antiinflammatory reagent.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
