A Phase I Study of Interleukin-10 in Healthy Humans: Safety and Effects on Cytokine Production

  • Chapter
Interleukin-10

Abstract

Interleukin-l0 (IL-10) has multiple in vitro actions on different cell types including thymocytes,1 T and B lymphocytes,2–4 monocytes,5 neu-trophils,6 and mast cells.7 When cultured with T lymphocytes, IL-10 suppresses IL-2 and IFN-γ production and inhibits mitogen-induced T-cell proliferation.8,9 On the other hand, IL-10 stimulates B-cell growth and immunoglobulin (Ig) production.4 In monocytes, IL-10 inhibits synthesis and gene expression for IL-1, TNF, IL-6, IL-8, and colony stimulating factors.5,8 Similar effects have been observed in neutrophils.6 IL-10 also prevents macrophage cytotoxic activity by inhibiting both cytokine and nitric oxide production.10
