Interleukin-17/interleukin-17 receptor-mediated signaling is important for generation of an optimal polymorphonuclear response against Toxoplasma gondii infection.
We investigated the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17)/IL-17 receptor (IL-17R)-mediated signaling in the protective immunity against Toxoplasma gondii. IL-17R(-/-) mice developed a normal adaptive immunity against the parasite. However, increased mortality in the knockout animals can be attributed to a defect in the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes to infected sites during early infection.
متن کاملInterleukin 17 receptor signaling is deleterious during Toxoplasma gondii infection in susceptible BL6 mice.
Th17 cells are involved in host defense against several pathogens. Using interleukin (IL) 17RA-deficient mice, we demonstrated reduced ileitis with diminished neutrophil recruitment and inflammatory lesions in the ileum, in the regional lymph node, in the spleen, and in the liver at day 7 and prolonged survival after Toxoplasma gondii infection. In addition, IL-17A antibody neutralization reduc...
متن کاملProtective role for interleukin-5 during chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection.
To investigate the role of interleukin-5 (IL-5) during Toxoplasma gondii infection, IL-5 knockout (KO) mice and C57BL/6 control mice were infected intraperitoneally with ME49 cysts and the course of infection was monitored. The mortality rate during chronic infection was significantly greater in IL-5-deficient animals, and consistent with this finding, the KO mice harbored a greater number of b...
متن کاملQuinupristin-dalfopristin is active against Toxoplasma gondii.
Synercid and each of its components (quinupristin and dalfopristin) were examined for their activities against Toxoplasma gondii. In vitro, intracellular replication of tachyzoites was inhibited by synercid and each of its two components. The 50% inhibitory concentrations of synercid, quinupristin, and dalfopristin were 1.6, 2.7, and 6.3 microg/ml, respectively. Thus, synercid was markedly more...
