IL-18: a new player in immunotherapy for age-related macular degeneration?

Matthew Campbell1, Sarah Doyle, Peter Humphries.   

Abstract

Recent evidence suggests that the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-18 may have utility as an anti-angiogenic agent in the eye. Numerous laboratories, including our own have demonstrated the ability of murine IL-18 to prevent neovascularization in the retina, choroid and cornea in pathological scenarios. Here, we summarize the potential use of IL-18 as an immunotherapy for wet age-related macular degeneration treatment, describing past and recent findings pertaining to its biological function in the eye.
