Gamma interferon, an immune lymphokine that protects mouse macrophages against infection by several parasites, was ineffective against Mycobacterium lepraemurium. On the contrary, it significantly stimulated multiplication of M. lepraemurium in the macrophages. Simultaneous treatment of macrophages with gamma interferon and interleukin-4 or interleukin-2 or a combination of all three did not enhance the macrophage resistance to infection with M. lepraemurium, but instead stimulated growth of M. lepraemurium.
γ干扰素是一种免疫淋巴因子,可保护小鼠巨噬细胞免受多种寄生虫感染,但对鼠麻风杆菌无效。相反,它能显著刺激鼠麻风杆菌在巨噬细胞中的增殖。用γ干扰素与白细胞介素-4或白细胞介素-2或这三种物质的组合同时处理巨噬细胞,并未增强巨噬细胞对鼠麻风杆菌感染的抵抗力,反而刺激了鼠麻风杆菌的生长。
