In mice injected intravenously with Candida albicans, administration of anti-interleukin-18 (IL-18) antibodies increased the yeast load in the kidneys. There was no effect on the organ load with Candida when gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-deficient mice were treated with anti-IL-18 antibodies, suggesting that the protective effect of IL-18 is mediated through endogenous IFN-gamma.
在静脉注射白色念珠菌的小鼠中,给予抗白细胞介素-18(IL-18)抗体可增加肾脏中的酵母负荷。当用抗IL-18抗体处理γ干扰素(IFN-γ)缺陷小鼠时,对念珠菌的器官负荷没有影响,这表明IL-18的保护作用是通过内源性IFN-γ介导的。
