In this work the data obtained in the study of cytokinin-inducing activity of Y. pestis "mouse" toxin (MT) are presented. The study revealed that MT induced the synthesis of IL 1, IL 2 and TNF alpha. The most pronounced activity in MT was IL 2 inducing activity having dose-dependent character: the effect increased with the decrease of the dose of the preparation. The maximum level of the synthesis of IL 2 was observed when very low doses of the preparation (0.01 microgram/ml) were used, which was characteristic of superantigens. The presented data suggest that IL 2 plays an essential role in the mechanism of immunopathological reactions stipulated by MT.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
