We have investigated the roles of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in host defense against Brugia malayi. Our data suggest that the lack of either IFN-gamma or IL-4 prolongs the time required to achieve sterile immunity, suggesting that both canonical type 1 and type 2 responses are involved in the clearance of infection.
我们研究了γ干扰素(IFN-γ)和白细胞介素-4(IL-4)在宿主抵御马来布鲁线虫中的作用。我们的数据表明,缺乏IFN-γ或IL-4都会延长实现无菌免疫所需的时间,这表明典型的1型和2型免疫反应都参与了感染的清除过程。
