Interleukin (IL-2) Levels in Past Dengue Infection

چکیده
Several reports relate the role of different cytokines in the pathogenesis of dengue. Here, we report the production, after trigger with dengue virus, of IL-2 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells of individuals with history of dengue infection 20 years ago.

Inflammatory mediators in dengue virus infection in children: interleukin-8 and its relationship to neutrophil degranulation.
The chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) has chemoattractant activity for neutrophils and is able to activate and degranulate these cells. We investigated whether IL-8 may exert these effects in children with dengue virus infection. Circulating levels of IL-8, neutrophilic elastase (a constituent of the azurophilic granula of neutrophils), and lactoferrin, released from specific granula, were measure...
متن کاملActivation of T lymphocytes in dengue virus infections. High levels of soluble interleukin 2 receptor, soluble CD4, soluble CD8, interleukin 2, and interferon-gamma in sera of children with dengue.
It has been reported that the severe complication of dengue virus infection, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is much more commonly observed during secondary dengue virus infections than primary infections. In order to elucidate the role of T lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of DHF, we attempted to determine whether T lymphocytes are activated in vivo during dengue virus infections, by examining t...
متن کاملDengue virus nonstructural protein NS5 induces interleukin-8 transcription and secretion.
Elevated circulating levels of chemokines have been reported in patients with dengue fever and are proposed to contribute to the pathogenesis of dengue disease. To establish in vitro models for chemokine induction by dengue 2 virus (DEN2V), we studied a variety of human cell lines and primary cells. DEN2V infection of HepG2 and primary dendritic cells induced the production of interleukin-8 (IL...
متن کاملSerum levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gama in infants with and without dengue Níveis séricos de interleucina-6, fator de necrose tumoral-alfa e interferon-gama em crianças menores de um ano com e sem dengue
This study compared the serum levels of IL-6, TNFand IFN, in children under 1 year of age with and without dengue. Sera were collected from a total of 41 children living in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia (27 patients with dengue and 14 controls). The results showed higher cytokine levels in children with dengue than without dengue, with statistically significant differences for IL-6 and ...
متن کاملSerum levels of cytokines in two ethnic groups with dengue virus infection.
This study compared the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) in 78 Colombian patients, from two ethnic groups, with dengue virus infection. TNF-alpha levels were significantly higher in Afro-Colombians than in Mestizos and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in Mestizos than in Afro-Colombians, during the acute phase. ...
