The Effects of Selective Hematopoietic Expression of Human IL-37 on Systemic Inflammation and Atherosclerosis in LDLr-Deficient Mice

The human cytokine interleukin (IL)-37 has potent anti-inflammatory capacities, and hematopoietic cell-specific transgenic overexpression of IL-37 in mice protects against septic shock and colitis. In the present study we investigated the effect of hematopoietic expression of IL-37 on atherosclerosi...
