Protective 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 کاملInterleukin-5 induces CD34(+) eosinophil progenitor mobilization and eosinophil CCR3 expression in asthma.
Asthma is characterized by the accumulation of activated T cells and eosinophils within the airway. Eosinophils derive from CD34(+) bone marrow progenitor cells under the influence of hematopoietic growth factors, subsequently migrating to the airways under the cooperative influence of interleukin (IL)-5 and chemokines, including eotaxin. We compared the relative effects of systemic versus loca...
متن کاملOrally administered recombinant human interleukin-11 is protective in experimental neutropenic sepsis.
Recombinant human interleukin (IL)-11 is a multifunctional cytokine with hematopoietic, immunomodulatory, and epithelial cell protective activities. IL-11alpha receptors are expressed on the luminal surface of intestinal epithelial cells. It was hypothesized that orally administered IL-11 would prevent mucosal damage and protect against microbial invasion in a neutropenic rat model of gram-nega...
متن کاملCombating the eosinophil with anti-interleukin-5 therapy.
The role of eosinophils in common diseases — such as asthma, parasitic disease, or allergic reactions — remains speculative. Even more puzzling is the eclectic group of rare disorders that constitute the hypereosinophilic syndromes. These syndromes are characterized by persistently high levels of blood eosinophils and their toxic mediators (e.g., eosinophilic cationic protein and eosinophil-der...
متن کاملHighly purified murine interleukin 5 (IL-5) stimulates eosinophil function and prolongs in vitro survival. IL-5 as an eosinophil chemotactic factor
The recent molecular cloning of the complementary DNA encoding T cell--replacing factor (TRF) has demonstrated that a single molecule is responsible for B cell growth factor II (BCGF-II) activity and eosinophil differentiation activity. It has been proposed that this molecule be called interleukin 5 (IL-5). We previously reported that purified rIL-5 supports the terminal differentiation and pro...
