Disease relevance of IL1F7

  • In this issue of Immunity, a report by Johnston and colleagues reveals a poxvirus strategy that inhibits the inflammasome, arresting secretion of interleukin-1-related cytokines, thus silencing key alarms that mobilize host defenses [1].
  • Extremely high interleukin-6 blood levels and outcome in the critically ill are associated with tumor necrosis factor- and interleukin-1-related gene polymorphisms [2].
 

High impact information on IL1F7

  • Innate immunity mediated by the cytokine IL-1 homologue 4 (IL-1H4/IL-1F7) induces IL-12-dependent adaptive and profound antitumor immunity [3].
  • Fil1, a G-protein alpha-subunit that acts upstream of cAMP and is essential for dimorphic switching in haploid cells of Ustilago hordei [4].
  • RESULTS: The prevalence of each genotype of the interleukin-1 related genes in the study population was: (1) 14% C/C, 71.5% C/T, and 14.5% T/T in IL-1beta promoter; (2) 95.3% E1/E1 and 4.7% E1/E2 in IL-1beta exon 5; (3) 92.4% I/I, 6.4% I/II, and 1.2% II/II in IL-1Ra intron 2 [5].
  • Frigen II improves the reliability of measurement of interleukin-1 related substances in amniotic fluid [6].
  • Genetic and physical analyses place the Fil1 locus and the deletion near the terminus of one arm of the 940-kb chromosome [7].
 

Anatomical context of IL1F7

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of IL1F7

  • These results suggest that IL-1H4 could play an important role in the link between innate and adaptive immunity and may be useful for tumor immunotherapy [3].
  • In situ hybridization data demonstrate that tap1 is expressed in the tapetum of the anthers and fil1 in the filament of the stamen and at the bases of the petals [8].
