These data demonstrate the termination of the inflammatory response 3 weeks after stroke modelling, although the higher contents of IL-1ra (proinflammatory inhibitor IL1β) in the blood and IL-6 (neuropoietic cytokine) in the cerebrospinal fluid in the intact animals, compared to the experimental mini-pigs, show the incomplete recovery of the animals with stroke. The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is Stroke.
