Association of interleukin-18 gene variants with susceptibility to visceral leishmaniasis in Iranian population.

Molecular biology reports - 1 Jun 2013

Abstract excerpt

Host resistance to Leishmania infection is mediated by cellular immune responses leading to macrophage activation and parasite killing. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) known as interferon-γ (IFN-γ) inducing factor, stimulates IFN-γ production by T cells. Taking into account the important role of IL-18 in the defense against visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and the known effect of IL-18 gene polymorphisms on its production, the...
