title: [Effect of interleukin 15 on the PMN activity in Lyme borreliosis].
abstract: In the present study, the effect was examined of rhIL-15 on neutrophil (PMN) activity (locomotion, phagocytosis and NBT reduction) in patients with Lyme disease. We found an increase of all parameters after IL-15 stimulation. The sera from the patients contained increased level of IL-15 in relation to controls. The results obtained indicate the modulatory effect of IL-15 on the PMN activity during Lyme disease.
