Peripheral administration of interleukin-13 reverses inflammatory macrophage and tactile allodynia in mice with partial sciatic nerve ligation

Inflammatory macrophages play a fundamental role in neuropathic pain. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of peripheral interleukin-13 (IL-13) on neuropathic pain after partial sciatic nerve (SCN) ligation (PSL) in mice. IL-13 receptor α1 was upregulated in accumulating macrophages in the inju...
