PG - 151-4 AB - In this report, interleukin 10(IL-10) and other cytokines were evaluated through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sandwich ELISA to explore possible immune pathogenesis of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection. The results showed that IL-10 was expressed in HHV-6 infected monocytes. Kinetic studies found that transcription of IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha mRNA decreased with accumulation of IL-10 mRNA. When endogenous IL-10 induced by HHV-6 was blocked using anti-human IL-10 monoclonal antibody, the production and the expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-6 markedly increased as compared with infection by HHV-6 alone, indicating that endogenous IL-10 inhibited cytokine production at the transcription level in HHV-6 infected monocytes. IL-10 has been shown to suppress Th1 response and down-regulate monocyte/macrophage function. The data from our studies suggest that disturbance of immune function and latent infection resulting from HHV-6 infection might partially contribute to endogenous IL-10 production.
