Neutralization of interleukin 4 (IL-4) at the time of infection with Leishmania major allowed susceptible BALB/c mice to heal. Recombinant IL-4, however, had little effect on the course of L. major infection in resistant C57BL/6 mice, nor did coinfection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, despite marked elevation of endogenous IL-4 levels.
在感染硕大利什曼原虫时中和白细胞介素4(IL-4)可使易感的BALB/c小鼠痊愈。然而,重组IL-4对具有抗性的C57BL/6小鼠的硕大利什曼原虫感染进程几乎没有影响,巴西日圆线虫共感染也没有影响,尽管内源性IL-4水平显著升高。
