In this work the data obtained in the study of cytokinin-inducing activity of Y. pestis "mouse" toxin (MT) are presented. The study revealed that MT induced the synthesis of IL 1, IL 2 and TNF alpha. The most pronounced activity in MT was IL 2 inducing activity having dose-dependent character: the effect increased with the decrease of the dose of the preparation. The maximum level of the synthesis of IL 2 was observed when very low doses of the preparation (0.01 microgram/ml) were used, which was characteristic of superantigens. The presented data suggest that IL 2 plays an essential role in the mechanism of immunopathological reactions stipulated by MT.
本文展示了在对鼠疫耶尔森氏菌“小鼠”毒素(MT)的细胞分裂素诱导活性研究中获得的数据。研究发现,MT可诱导白细胞介素1(IL 1)、白细胞介素2(IL 2)和肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)的合成。MT中最显著的活性是具有剂量依赖性的IL 2诱导活性:随着制剂剂量的降低,效应增强。当使用极低剂量的制剂(0.01微克/毫升)时,观察到IL 2合成的最高水平,这是超抗原的特征。所呈现的数据表明,IL 2在MT规定的免疫病理反应机制中起重要作用。
