| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine, which is postulated to play a role in mechanism of renal allograft rejection and strongly induces interferon (IFN)-gamma production. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the G-137C IL-18 promoter polymorphism with acute allograft rejection in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). METHODS: A total of 226 RTRs and 148 controls were recruited for association analysis. Genotyping was performed by using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. Patients were separated into two groups, the acute rejection (AR) (n=37) or the no AR group (n=189), depending on their history of AR episodes. IL-18 and IFN-gamma serum levels of 73 randomly selected RTRs were measured by ELISA. RESULTS: No significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies were observed between the RTRs and the controls. Significant differences in genotype frequency and allele frequency between the AR and no AR group were observed. The frequency of the -137GG genotype was significantly increased in patients with AR (P=0.015, odds ratio=3.653). Serum levels of IL-18 and IFN-gamma were significantly elevated in the AR group with compared with the no AR group. In the AR group, patients with the -137GG genotype had significantly higher IL-18 serum levels compared to other genotypes. CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate that the -137GG genotype of the IL-18 gene, encoding higher IL-18 production, seems to be associated with AR and may be a useful marker of AR risk in RTRs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
