Increased IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-17 mRNA Expression in Blood Mononuclear Cells Observed in a Prospective Ischemic Stroke Study

Abstract

A longitudinal study of patients with ischemic stroke revealed systemic increases of levels of IL-1beta, IL-8, and IL-17 that correlated with Scandinavian Stroke Scale scores. IL-8 levels were further increased in cerebrospinal fluid.
