Here, we report that administration of a neutralizing anti-S100a9 antibody significantly ameliorated dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and accompanied by diminished cellular infiltrate of innate immunity cells (macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells) and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (Tnfα, Il1β, Ifnγ, Il6, Il17a, Il23a, Il4, and Il12a). Here, IL1B is linked to colitis.
