Leishmania major induces the rapid production of interleukin-4 (IL-4) in both susceptible BALB/c and resistant B10.D2 mice. In both strains, IL-4 is produced by T cells which react to the parasite LACK (for Leishmania homolog of the receptor for activated C kinase) antigen. The rapid production of IL-4 in B10.D2 mice does not confer susceptibility but results in increased parasite burdens.
硕大利什曼原虫可诱导易感的BALB/c小鼠和抗性的B10.D2小鼠快速产生白细胞介素-4(IL-4)。在这两种品系小鼠中,IL-4均由对寄生虫LACK(活化C激酶受体的利什曼原虫同源物)抗原产生反应的T细胞分泌。B10.D2小鼠中IL-4的快速产生并不会使其易感,但会导致寄生虫负荷增加。
