چکیده

it is now well documented that interferon gamma (ifn-γ) is the indispensable cytokine for inducing protective immunity against experimental and human cutaneous leishmaniaisis. the importance of ifn-γ receptor (ifn-γr) has also been studied. in the present study, we made attempts to find out whether l. major infection is able to alter the expression of ifn-γr in vivo. in addition, we studied the responsiveness to ifn-γ ex vivo. to do that, we assessed the expression of cd119 (ifn-γrα ) on cd45+ cells isolated from draining lymph nodes of infected and uninfected balb/c and c57bl/6 mice by flow cytometry. the mfi (mean fluorescence intensities) of cd119 on uninfected balb/c mice were 192.8 ± 18.4 but the cd119 mfi of infected balb/c mice were remarkably decreased (107.9±40.8). cd119 mfi of uninfected and infected c57bl/6 mice were 276.2 ± 17.1 and 140.4±43.0 respectively moreover, we measured the production of nitric oxide (no) by these cells in the presence of ifn-γ in order to study the function of ifn-γr. no production by draining lymph nodes cells of infected c57bl/6 mice in response to recombinant murine ifn-γ was significantly higher than the cells of infected balb/c mice (37.5 ± 0.6 and 11.6 ± 0.5 µm respectively, p<0.05). therefore, our results confirm the in vitro reports regarding the impairment of ifn-γ responsiveness due to leishmania infection.

Interferon Gamma Unresponsiveness Due to Down-Regulation of IFN-γR Expression in Experimental Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

It is now well documented that interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is the indispensable cytokine for inducing protective immunity against experimental and human cutaneous leishmaniaisis.

Unresponsiveness to Glucantime Treatment in Iranian Cutaneous Leishmaniasis due to Drug-Resistant Leishmania tropica Parasites

BACKGROUND Recent circumstantial evidence suggests that an increasing number of Iranian patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis are unresponsive to meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime), the first line of treatment in Iran. This study was designed to determine whether the clinical responses (healing, or non-healing) were correlated with the susceptibility of Leishmania parasites to Glucantime. MET...

Interferon Gamma in Leishmaniasis

Leishmaniasis is a complex disease that is caused by parasites of the Leishmania genus. Leishmania are further classified into several complexes, each of which can engage in distinct interactions with mammalian hosts resulting in differing disease presentations. It is therefore not unexpected that host immune responses to Leishmania are variable. The induction of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and re...

IFN unresponsiveness in LNCaP cells due to the lack of JAK1 gene expression.

We reported previously that 23% of human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines were unresponsive to IFN-gamma. To extend this finding to cancer cells derived from distinct tissues of origin, we assessed IFN-gamma receptor signaling in the LNCaP human prostate adenocarcinoma cell line, which in previous experiments by others failed to induce a range of IFN-dependent biological responses. In this report...

Inducible Expression of Human Gamma Interferon

Background:The premature termination of high producer clones, which will be killed due to cell proliferation and proteins production antagonism, is one of the basic drawback in recombinant proteins technology. Furtheremore, it is supposed some toxic proteins like interferon which we intended to clone and express, inhibit host cells’ proliferation. So, it is necessary to tightly control IFN-γ pr...

Molecular Cloning and Expression of Human Gamma Interferon (IFN-g) Full cDNA in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells

Background: IFN-g is mostly secreted by activated CD4+ , CD8+ T cells and NK cells. This cytokine has immunomodulatory, anti-cancer and anti-microbial effects and is important for prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of chronic infections and cancers. Objective: The purpose of this study was to clone the full cDNA of human IFN-g and express it in CHO cell line. Methods: Lymphocytes from a healt...
