Protective effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor on endotoxin shock in mice with retrovirus-induced
1Laboratory of Host Defense, Research Institute for Disease Mechanism and Control, Nagoya University School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Mice with retrovirus-induced murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (MAIDS) were hypersensitive to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lethal shock accompanied by marked elevations of systematic interleukin 1beta (IL-beta) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) after LPS challenge. Pretreatment with 10 microg of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) protected MAIDS mice from hypersensitivity to LPS-induced lethal shock and this protection was concomitant with suppression of IFN-gamma production.
