IL-1 β is required for IL-12 to induce production of IFN-γ by NK cells. A role for IL-1 β in the T cell-independent mechanism of resistance against intracellular pathogens
Abstract
Mice with the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) possess an IFN-gamma-dependent mechanism of resistance to the intracellular pathogens Toxoplasma gondii and Listeria monocytogenes that is dependent on IL-12-induced production of IFN-gamma by NK cells. In this report we demonstrate that IL-1 beta is required for IL-12 to stimulate production of IFN-gamma by NK cells, and that IL-1 is important in IL-12-mediated resistance to T. gondii in vivo. Stimulation of SCID mouse splenocytes with tachyzoites of T. gondii resulted in production of IFN-gamma. Addition of neutralizing Ab specific for IL-1 beta to these cultures inhibited completely the production of IFN-gamma. Similar results were obtained when LPS or L. monocytogenes were used to stimulate production of IFN-gamma by SCID mouse splenocytes. Addition of a neutralizing Ab to IL-1 alpha did not affect production of IFN-gamma by SCID mouse splenocytes stimulated with T. gondii, L. monocytogenes, or LPS. Stimulation of SCID mouse splenocytes with IL-1 beta or IL-1 alpha did not result in production of IFN-gamma but enhanced remarkably the ability of T. gondii or IL-12 to stimulate production of IFN-gamma. Furthermore, production of IFN-gamma by SCID mouse splenocytes stimulated with IL-12 plus TNF-alpha was completely ablated by anti-IL-1 beta, but not by anti-IL-1 alpha. Analysis of the culture supernatants of spleen cells from SCID mice stimulated with T. gondii or IL-12 plus TNF-alpha detected low levels of IL-1 beta; ad…

In the citing paper
“IL-18, originally named IFNγ -inducing factor, strongly drives Th1 immune responses, 143-145 but in BALB/c mice, this produces a mixed Th1/Th2 response that promotes fibrosis and DCM rather than a classical STAT-driven Th1 respo nse. 115,146,160,165”

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.
