Abstract

Objective: To study the therapeutic effect of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) with and without amphotericin B on pulmonary fungal infection of mice.

Methods: A mouse model of pulmonary invasive aspergillus fumigatus (IPA) infection was established and the mice were divided into different groups, treated with IL-2 and IL-12 with and without amphotericin B. The survival number of mice in 15 days and the colony count of lung tissue in the different groups were observed.

Results: IL-2, IL-12 and amphotericin B showed synergistic effect in prolonging the survival of the infected mice and reducing the colony count in the lung tissue.

Conclusion: IL-2 and IL-12 are effective adjuvant therapeutic agents in the immunosuppressed hosts.
