Research Abstract |
IL-13 is Th2 type cytokine as investigated in various physiological functions. Pathogen elimination was impaired in IL-13 deficient (KO) mice when we challenged low dose live S. pneumoniae, or C. albicans via airway route, compared to BALB/c wild type (WT). Serum natural IgM titer was lower in IL-13 KO compared to control WT. IL-13 may affect to amount and quality of natural IgM in the primary acute infection model.
