Mice infected in the genital tract with the Chlamydia trachomatis agent of mouse pneumonitis were treated with monoclonal rat anti-gamma interferon (anti-IFN-gamma) antibody to determine whether IFN-gamma participated in the resolution of the infection. In two experiments, anti-IFN-gamma antibody treatment resulted in significantly prolonged infections. In support of these data, passive administration of recombinant IFN-gamma to chronically infected nu/nu mice was able to bring about resolution of the infection in some animals.
用小鼠肺炎衣原体感染生殖道的小鼠,并用大鼠抗γ干扰素(抗IFN-γ)单克隆抗体进行治疗,以确定IFN-γ是否参与感染的消退过程。在两项实验中,抗IFN-γ抗体治疗导致感染显著延长。为支持这些数据,对慢性感染的裸鼠被动给予重组IFN-γ能够使一些动物的感染得到消退。
