Abstract: The goal was to evaluate the effect of Streptococcal HlpA on IL-6 level in muri ne serum. Serum levels of IL-6 production were measured by means of 7TD1 IL-6 dependent cell line. The IL-6 levels in murine serum induced with Streptococcal HlpA were time and concentration dependent in vivo. There was a synergistic res ponse on the IL-6 level in murine serum induced by the mixture of HlpA and LTA, compared to HlpA alone. On the contrary, anti-HlpA and heparin could restrain serum levels of IL-6 production induced by intravenous injection o f HlpA. It means that Streptococcal HlpA can increase serum levels of IL-6 pr oduction induced by intravenous injection of HlpA. There was significant synergi sm on it in mice vivo after HlpA and LTA were injected together.
