Human peripheral blood monocytes and a human monocyte cell line were exposed to the toxin pneumolysin. Pneumolysin-exposed cells produced significantly larger amounts of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1 beta than cells not exposed to the toxin. The viability of cells was not affected by the concentrations of pneumolysin used in the experiments.
将人外周血单核细胞和一种人单核细胞系暴露于毒素肺炎溶血素中。与未暴露于该毒素的细胞相比,暴露于肺炎溶血素的细胞产生的肿瘤坏死因子α和白细胞介素-1β的量显著更多。实验中所用肺炎溶血素的浓度对细胞活力没有影响。
