PG - 71-82 LID - S0003-9861(18)31013-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.abb.2019.01.001 [doi] AB - Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that evokes both innate and acquired immune responses. IL-18 is initially synthesized as an inactive precursor and the cleavage for processing into a mature, active molecule is mediated by pro-inflammatory caspases following the activation of inflammasomes. Two types of monoclonal antibodies were raised: anti-IL-18(63-68) antibodies which recognize full-length(1-193) and cleaved IL-18; and anti-IL-18 neoepitope antibodies which specifically recognize the new N-terminal (37)YFGKLESK(44) of IL-18 cleaved by pro-inflammatory caspase-1/4. These mAbs were suitable for Western blotting, capillary Western immunoassay (WES), immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and function-blocking assays. WES analysis of these mAbs allowed visualization of the IL-18 bands and provided a molecular weight corresponding to the pro-inflammatory caspase-1/4 cleaved, active form IL-18(37-193), and not to the inactive precursor IL-18, in the serum of patients with adult-onset Still's disease (6/14, 42%) and hemophagocytic activation syndrome (2/6, 33%). These monoclonal antibodies will be very useful in IL-18 and inflammasome biology and for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for inflammatory diseases. CI - Copyright (c) 2019 The Authors.
