Elevated IL-18BPa among T1D subjects, while other cytokines show similar abundance. (A–C) We observed that IL-7, IL-10, and IFN-γ levels were more-or-less similar among T1D subjects and controls. (D,E). We were unable to detect TNF α and IL-17A in the majority of our subjects. (F) The chemokine macrophage derived chemokine (MDC) was similarly abundant among T1D subjects and controls. (G,H) While IL-18 levels were roughly equivalent between the two groups, elevated IL-18BPa levels were observed among the T1D group in relation to control. (I) Although IL-18BPa was elevated, the ratio of IL-18BPa to IL-18 was similar among T1D subjects and controls. Bars represent median.
