The purpose of this study was to measure serum concentrations of cytokines implicated in the acute phase response with the long term goal of investigating how endogenous concentrations of cytokines impact on drug disposition. Nonfasted rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital after which a cannula was implanted in the jugular vein. In the surgery model of inflammation, blood samples were drawn from 0-48 hrs post surgery. In the turpentine model, rats were injected with 3 ml/kg turpentine sc immediately after completions of surgery. In the final model, 1 ml/kg of LPS was injected ip 24 hrs after recovery from surgery. Serial blood samples were drawn after turpentine or LPS had been given. Concentrations if IL-1{alpha} were measured by a two stage immunobioassay based on the principle that IL-2 dependent CTLL-2 cells respond in a dose dependent manner to IL-2 secreted by the mouse thymoma EL-4 NOB-1 clone in response to IL-1. IL-1{beta} was measured by omitting the specific mAb capture step and serially diluting samples shown to be negative for IL-1{alpha}. IL-6 activity was assayed by the B9 subclone hybridoma assay. After incubation, cell proliferation was measured by thymidine incorporation. In none of the three models was IL-1{alpha} detectable in serum at any time. IL-1{beta} was present at low concentrations shortly after surgery and turpentine injection. IL-1{beta} serum concentrations were increased by LPS injection. IL-6 concentrations, however, were significantly elevated in all the models leading the authors and others to conclude that IL-6 may be the cytokine which most often induces the full spectrum of the acute phase response.
