Abstract: To evaluate the effect of Streptococcus HlpA on interlukin-6(IL-6)production by murine peritoneal MΦ, HlpA and/or LTA were added to the cultured MΦ and maintained for different time periods. IL-6 activity was measured by means of 7TD1 cells. The results showed that the IL-6 production from MΦ induced by HlpA of Streptococcus was time and concentration dependent in vitro. There was a synergisticly increased response on the production of IL-6 induced by the mixture of HlpA and LTA, as compared to HlpA alone. On the contrary, the addition of heparin could deduce the IL-6 production.

Key words: Streptococcus, macrophage, interlukin-6
