[Cytokine production during the development and correction of an immunodeficiency in experimental tuberculosis].
The authors investigated spontaneous and induced secretion of cytokins at different stages of generalized tuberculosis. In the development of infection there were inhibited IL-2 synthesis in response to ConA, emerging activity of PNO-alpha in response to the inductors in blood serum and culture of peritoneal macrophages, enhanced secretion of IL-6. Complete immunodeficiency was associated with cessation of IL-2 synthesis by splenocytes, elevated production of IL-6 by peritoneal macrophages, low concentrations of PNO-alpha in the serum and peritoneal macrophage cultures. In the treatment of M. bovis-infected mice with antibacterial drugs alone IL-6 secretion by peritoneal macrophages and PNO-alpha activity in the serum were increased. Immunocorrection resulted in marked activation of IL-2 production by splenocytes in response to ConA as well as enhanced synthesis of IL-6 in unstimulated cultures of peritoneal macrophages.
