title: Immunoregulation of lupus-like NZB/W F1 mice by anti-murine IL-1 alpha, IL-6 antibodies.
abstract: Anti-murine IL-1 alpha, IL-6 antibodies were intra-peritoneally injected to the lupus-like NZB/W F1 mice of 4 months with the dosage of 10 micrograms per day for three days and then per month for three months. The mice were killed at the age of 11 months. The results showed that the treatment of the dosage could not absolutely prevent lupus nephritis--it could alleviate proteinuria, obviously reduce the levels of serum IL-1 alpha and inhibit the secretion of IL-1 alpha by celiac macrophage. As to the level of IL-6 and TNF-alpha no significant change was observed.
