摘要

The roles of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and macrophage activation in clearance of Nocardia brasiliensis from BALB/c mouse livers and spleens were evaluated. TNF activity was detectable in sera from animals at all stages of infection. Treatment of infected mice with an antiserum against TNF significantly enhanced the experimental infection as judged by enumeration of CFU in the spleens and livers of infected mice. In another set of experiments, a population of activated macrophages from the peritoneal cavities of N. brasiliensis-infected mice was studied by using a cytostatic assay. The observed cytotoxic activity of these activated macrophages against L929 cells was mediated by TNF, since this activity was inhibited by anti-TNF antiserum treatment. The level of TNF activity generated in vitro in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by peritoneal macrophages from infected mice was higher than that of adherent peritoneal cells obtained from normal mice after challenge with LPS. When the nocardiacidal activity of peritoneal cells from N. brasiliensis-infected mice was estimated in vitro, a significant decrease in the number of CFU recovered was observed. Moreover, nocardiacidal activity of peritoneal cells obtained from N. brasiliensis-infected mice previously treated with anti-TNF antiserum was significantly reduced compared with the activity of cells obtained from infected mice previously treated with normal rabbit serum and that of cells from uninfected mice. These data suggest a role for TNF in resistance to N. brasiliensis infection.
