Induction of host cytokines plays a critical role in infection as well as disease in human
filariasis. Measurements of such molecules in plasma could be used as windows of markers
both for understanding the pathogenesis of the disease and for identifying markers of
morbidity. Eight inflammatory and non-inflammatory host molecules in circulation were
quantified in 207 subjects in filariasis endemic area of Orissa, India. IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α,
TNFR-I, TNFR-II, LBP and sICAM-1 were quantified by immunoassays and were analyzed …
