Oxazolone 173-182 interleukin 18 Mus musculus 44-49 27966619-6 2016 Oxazolone treatment stimulated maturation of pro-caspase-1 and pro-IL-1beta, while it reduced IL-18 expression. Oxazolone 0-9 interleukin 18 Mus musculus 94-99 27966619-9 2016 Compared to wild-type mice, NLRP3-/- mice exhibited higher sensitivity to oxazolone treatment with enhancement of Th2 cytokine expression and reduction of mature IL-1beta and IL-18 production; this phenotype was rescued by exogenous IL-1beta or IL-18. Oxazolone 74-83 interleukin 18 Mus musculus 175-180 27966619-9 2016 Compared to wild-type mice, NLRP3-/- mice exhibited higher sensitivity to oxazolone treatment with enhancement of Th2 cytokine expression and reduction of mature IL-1beta and IL-18 production; this phenotype was rescued by exogenous IL-1beta or IL-18. Oxazolone 74-83 interleukin 18 Mus musculus 245-250 11298831-8 2001 Importantly, not only was IL-18 able to contribute to the regulation of LC migration, it was found to be essential for the manifestation of these processes in response to topical sensitization with the contact allergen oxazolone.
