Description
Summary:Comparative analysis of serum cytokine profiles of CBA mice was carried out 1, 5, 24, and 48 h after intraperitoneal injection of killed culture of different streptococcus A types. The production of cytokines in response to different streptococcus types varied. The highest level was recorded in response to types 1M and 3T+M, more often detected in invasive streptococcal infection. The highest levels of IL-2 were recorded in response to 1M (47-fold increase in comparison with the control) and 3T+M streptococcus types (more than 10-fold increase). Injections of these types also led to an increase of IFN-γ level (15.6 and 11.3 times, respectively). The level of TNF-α increased less (3.6 times in response to 3T+M and 2.6 times in response to 1M type). The levels of IL-5, IL-10, and IL-12 increased 2-3-fold. Injections of 1T and 5M types led to just a 2-fold increase of cytokine levels. These data indicated induction of the immune response trend by mainly Th1 or mixed Th1/Th2 pattern in response to group A streptococcus antigens.
