Abstract
Macrophages restrict bacterial infection partly by stimulating phagocytosis and partly by stimulating release of cytokines and complement components. Here, we treat macrophages with LPS and a bacterial pathogen, and demonstrate that expression of cytokine IL-1β and bacterial phagocytosis increase to a transient peak 8 to 12 h post-treatment, while expression of complement component 3 (C3) continues to rise for 24 h post-treatment. Metabolomic analysis suggests a correlation between the cellular concentrations of succinate and IL-1β and of inosine and C3. This may involve a regulatory feedback mechanism, whereby succinate stimulates and inosine inhibits HIF-1α through their competitive interactions with prolyl hydroxylase. Furthermore, increased level of inosine in LPS-stimulated macrophages is linked to accumulation of adenosine monophosphate and that exogenous inosine improves the survival of bacterial pathogen-infected mice and tilapia. The implications of these data suggests potential therapeutic tools to prevent, manage or treat bacterial infections.

Abstract
Cytokines have a myriad role in an infectious disease, whether being pathogenic, bacterial, or viral. All proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine biological function are dependent on its concentration, followed by combination with the other cytokines and the stage of the disease. Plasticity in switching off from one phenotype to the other of these regulatory mediators in congruence with the traditional concept of inhibitory and stimulatory effects on immune system is dealt with. This review highlights the dual functionality of some of these cytokines and cytokine-based immunotherapy.

Abstract
Mycoplasma infections cause respiratory tract damages and atypical pneumonia, resulting in serious problems in humans and animals worldwide. It is well known that laboratory inbred mouse strains show various susceptibility to Mycoplasma pulmonis (M. pulmonis) infection, which causes murine respiratory mycoplasmosis. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the difference in cellular immune responses between resistant strain, C57BL/6NCrSlc (B6) and susceptible strain, DBA/2CrSlc (D2) after challenging M. pulmonis infection. D2 mice showed higher amount of bacterial proliferation in lung, higher pulmonary infiltration of immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes, and higher levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, and tumor necrosis factor-α in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid than did B6 mice. The results of this study suggest that D2 mice are more susceptible than B6 mice to M. pulmonis infection due to a hyper-immune inflammatory response.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that is capable of causing acute and chronic pulmonary infection in the immunocompromised host. In the case of cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic P. aeruginosa infection causes increased mortality by promoting overly exuberant airway inflammation and cumulative lung damage. Identifying the key regulators of this inflammation may lead to the development of new therapies that improve P. aeruginosa-related mortality. We report here that interleukin-23 (IL-23), the cytokine most clearly tied to IL-17-mediated inflammation, also promotes IL-17-independent inflammation during P. aeruginosa pulmonary infection. During the early innate immune response, prior to IL-17 induction, IL-23 acts synergistically with IL-1β to promote early neutrophil (polymorphonuclear leukocyte [PMN]) recruitment. However, at later time points, IL-23 also promoted IL-17 production by lung γδ T cells, which was greatly augmented in the presence of IL-1β. These studies show that IL-23 controls two independent phases of neutrophil recruitment in response to P. aeruginosa infection: early PMN emigration that is IL-17 independent and later PMN emigration regulated by IL-17.

Abstract
The overall immunopathogenesis relevant to a large series of disorders caused by a drug or its associated hyperimmune condition is discussed based upon examining the genetics of severe drug-induced bullous skin problems (sporadic idiosyncratic adverse events including Stevens–Johnson syndrome and Toxic epidermal necrolysis). New results from an exemplar study on shared precipitating and perpetuating inner causes with other related disease phenotypes including aphtous stomatitis, Behçets, erythema multiforme, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, pemphigus, periodic fevers, Sweet’s syndrome and drug-induced multisystem hypersensitivity are presented. A call for a collaborative, wider demographic profiling and deeper immunotyping in suggested future work is made.

Abstract
Infections which caused ravages in the past centuries are again resurgent and newly emerging pathogens capable of human diseases continue to surface. Multidrug antibiotic resistance has turned into a major medical problem. Judicious concepts for combating infections in the 21st century have acquired a new poignancy. Immunomodulators of natural, synthetic, and recombinant origin can stimulate host defense mechanisms for the prophylaxis and treatment of diverse viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal diseases. Some immunomodulator preparations are already licensed for use in patients and numerous others are being extensively investigated in preclinical and clinical studies. Immunomodulators offer a novel adjunct to established antimicrobial therapies.

Abstract
Resistance to gram-negative infection can be induced by pretreating animals with several agents such as turpentine and interleukin (IL)-1. Because these agents are powerful inducers of acute phase proteins, we wondered whether these proteins, more particularly alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (alpha(1)-AGP), are involved in nonspecific resistance to infection. Turpentine and IL-1 protect completely against a lethal challenge of Klebsiella pneumoniae when given 48 and 12-48 h before the challenge, respectively. alpha(1)-AGP induction in the serum reached peak values 48 h after turpentine and 12-48 h after IL-1 injection. Administration of alpha(1)-AGP, 2 h before a challenge of K. pneumoniae, significantly increased the survival. Numbers of bacteria cultured from blood and organs were significantly lower in mice pretreated with a protective dose of turpentine, IL-1, or alpha(1)-AGP. These data suggest that alpha(1)-AGP is a possible mediator in turpentine- or IL-1-induced protection because time points of maximal induction of alpha(1)-AGP by turpentine or IL-1 and of optimal protection by alpha(1)-AGP coincide. Transgenic overexpression of rat alpha(1)-AGP protected mice from a K. pneumoniae infection. Bacterial counts in blood and organs were significantly lower in transgenic mice, and only in control mice were large necrotic areas, apoptosis, and blood clots observed in the spleen. Our data suggest that alpha(1)-AGP prevents gram-negative infections and may be an essential component in nonspecific resistance to infection.

Abstract
The advent of the antibiotic era ushered in a shift towards non-pathogen-specific therapy of infectious diseases. This led to an overt emphasis on targeting microbial pathogens while strategies directed towards enhancing host immunity were neglected. In an effort to decrease sole reliance on antimicrobials, the time has come for a critical reappraisal of nonantibiotic, albeit immune response-enhancing substances. The diverse array of natural, synthetic, and recombinant immunomodulators discussed in this review succinctly demonstrate the potential of these agents to stimulate host defense mechanisms for prophylaxis and treatment of various microbial infections.

Abstract
The complete coding sequence of rainbow trout IL-1beta has been obtained. The gene contains a short 5' UTR (97 bp), a 780 bp open reading frame and a 466 bp 3' UTR, which includes a polyadenylation signal, 7 ATTTA motifs and an 18 bp poly A tail. The predicted amino acid sequence (260 amino acids) contains 3 potential glycosylation sites, with a predicted molecular weight of 29 kDa, and shows between 49 and 56% amino acid similarity to mammalian IL-1betas and 57% similarity to carp IL-1beta. Greatest homology was apparent within the secondary structure of the gene, with few of the amino acids known to bind to the IL-1 receptor being conserved. No ICE cut site was apparent but multiple alignment with mammalian sequences allowed a putative mature peptide of 166 amino acids to be identified, in which Ala(95)would be the amino terminus. Northern blot analysis showed that whilst no IL-1beta expression was detectable in head kidney leukocytes immediately after isolation, expression could be induced by stimulation with LPS for 4 h in culture. Similarly, with isolated head kidney macrophages expression was significantly increased following stimulation with LPS.

Abstract
Bacterial infections in the immunocompromised host cause considerable mortality, and even recently developed antimicrobial strategies often fail to cure these infections, especially in granulocytopenic patients. Cytokines and hematopoietic growth factors have been shown to stimulate host defense mechanisms in vitro and in vivo. The possible role of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8 as modulators of host resistance to bacterial infections is discussed. Interleukin-1 has been effective in various animal models of potentially lethal bacterial infection, even during severe granulocytopenia. The protective mechanism of IL-1 may be mediated by downregulation of cytokine receptors and cytokine production and induction of acute phase proteins. Moreover, in subacute and chronic infections IL-1 interferes with microbial outgrowth via mechanisms that have only been partly elucidated.

Abstract
Laboratory mice, rats, and rabbits may harbor a variety of viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal agents. Frequently, these organisms cause no overt signs of disease. However, many of the natural pathogens of these laboratory animals may alter host physiology, rendering the host unsuitable for many experimental uses. While the number and prevalence of these pathogens have declined considerably, many still turn up in laboratory animals and represent unwanted variables in research. Investigators using mice, rats, and rabbits in biomedical experimentation should be aware of the profound effects that many of these agents can have on research.
