Abstract

We compared the effect of NF-κB inhibitor aurothiomalate and voltaren on local inflammation in different types of immune response. Both substances reduced edema caused by sheep erythrocytes (Th1-type immune response) and local immediate-type hypersensitivity response induced with ovalbumin (Th2-dependent response). The anti-inflammatory effects of aurothiomalate were similar to those of voltaren during Th1-type immune response.
