24. lupus nephritis patients present lower IL-18BP mRNA expression and higher serum levels of IL-18 than those in normal controls PMID:20140691
25. Altogether, data presented herein indicate that direct action of STAT1 on the IL-18BP promoter at the proximal GAS element is key to IL-18BP expression by IFN-gamma-stimulated DLD-1 colon carcinoma cells PMID:19046253
26. High circulating levels in patients with active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus PMID:19699611
27. Endometrial interleukin-18 binding protein mRNA expression may possibly be responsible for the pathologic process of adenomyosis. PMID:19394601
28. Suggest that an early rise in IL-18 levels may play a role in reverse remodeling process following aortic valve replacement. PMID:19961286
29. Since IL-18 plays a major role in perpetuating hemophagocytosis, the failure of IFNgamma to induce IL-18BP may constitute a fundamental pathogenetic mechanism PMID:20072626
