KGF increases IL-13 and decreases TNF-α and IFN-γ after allogeneic T-cell transfer in SCID mice.
Serum levels of IL-13, TNF-α and IFN-γ were measured by ELISA on day 6 in BALB/c SCID recipients of 2 × 106 C57BL/6 T cells given KGF on days 0 through 6, every day (mice were bled 2 hours after the last injection of KGF on day 6). For IL-13, *P < .00000007 vs SCID controls; ^P < .0006 compared with non-KGF counterparts and control SCID mice. For TNF-α and IFN-γ, ^P < .02 versus non-KGF counterpart. Mean values of 6 to 9 mice per group ± SD are shown. NS indicates not significant, levels below assay sensitivity.
