Interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (651-670) (IRBP651-670), a peptide fragment of retinoid-binding protein 3 (also known as IRBP), plays a crucial role in the visual cycle by facilitating the transport of retinol and retinal between photoreceptor cells and the retinal pigment epithelium. This transport is essential for the regeneration of pigments necessary for vision. When administered at a dose of 300 µg/animal, IRBP651-670 induces autoimmune uveoretinitis in C57BL/6 mice, a model possessing the H-2b haplotype. This immunization leads to increased levels of ocular cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, promotes immune cell infiltration into the eye, and results in photoreceptor cell damage.

DLX-105 is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets TNFSF2/TNFa. It reduces epidermal thickness and the expression of K16 and Ki67 in the skin. Additionally, DLX-105 downregulates mRNA levels of IL-17, TNF-α, IL-23p19, IL-12p40, and IFN-γ. This compound is useful for psoriasis research.

1beta-Hydroxyalantolactone is a small molecular compound isolated from the flower head of the medicinal plant giant British flower, which can inhibit the expression of TNF-α, IL-17 and IFN-γ in cells, promote the secretion of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17, and prevent and treat rheumatoid arthritis.
