Whole body hyperthermia (41-42 degrees C) induces interleukin-1 in vivo.
Abstract
The role of endogenous mediated fever and exogenous hyperthermia as modulators of immunological processes against infection and neoplasms remains poorly understood. Hyperthermia appears to modulate the activity of a number of immunological cytokines including Interleukin-1 (IL-1). Using a recently developed Radiant Heat technology for safely producing 41-42 degrees C Whole Body Hyperthermia in mice, we have investigated the effect of 1 hour of …
