ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the protective effect of IL-22 and IL-12 on cutaneous leishmaniasisin BALB/c mice.Methods:
The protective effect of IL-22 and IL-12 on cutaneous leishmanias in BALB/c mice was evaluated by measurement of IL-4, INF-γ, total IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a after challenge with Leishamania major. Clinical evaluations were performed by measurement of lesion diameter, and survival rate of the mice.Results:
In week 27 post infection, the mortality rates for control groups were 100%. While the survival rates for the IL-12, IL-12 + IL-22, and IL-22(5 ng/g) groups were 100%. The size of lesions decreased in the presence IL-22 (5 ng/g) of mice weight, which was statistically significant in comparison with other groups (. P<0.05). Mean of total IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a for IL-22 (5 ng/g) group was more than other groups. In IL-22 group (5 ng/g), INF-γ production was significantly higher than other groups and IL-4 was significantly lower than other groups.Conclusions:
The results obtained indicate the effectiveness of IL-22 and its effect on IL-12 in protection of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
