Título: | Effects of recombinant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor administration during Mycobacterium avium infection in mice |
Data de publicação: | 2001 |
Resumo: | Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration in vivo has been shown to improve the defence mechanisms against infection by different microbes. Here we evaluated a possible protective role of this molecule in a mouse model of mycobacterial infection. The administration of recombinant G-CSF promoted an extensive blood neutrophilia but failed to improve the course of Mycobacterium avium infection in C57Bl/6 or beige mice. G-CSF administration also failed to improve the efficacy of a triple chemotherapeutic regimen (clarithromycin + ethambutol + rifabutin). G-CSF treatment did not protect interleukin-10 gene disrupted mice infected with M. avium. Spleen cells from infected mice treated with G-CSF had a decreased priming for antigen-specific production of interferon gamma compared to control infected mice. Our data do not substantiate previous reports on the protective activity of G-CSF in antimycobacterial immunity using mouse models. |
