IL-18 shares activities with IL-12 in generating T-helper 1 cells and cytokine response. It mediates LPS/endotoxin lethality by IL-12 independent interferon-gamma synthesis and it induces bacteria-related organ failure, As peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are potent producers of IL-18, we studied the regulation of IL-18 upon exposure to LPS and Staphylococcus aureus (SAC) in vitro, Freshly isolated PBMC constitutively expressed IL-18 mRNA, After unstimulated preincubation for 48 h, however, IL-18 transcripts mere nearly not detectable by RT-PCR, but inducible by LPS or SAC (P
