Gamma-interferon, a disease-fighting protein, rises with laughter as do B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies, and T-cells, which orchestrate the immune response. When they administered gene-transporting adenoviruses into the lungs of mice, they also injected the animals with either interleukin-12 or gamma-interferon, two natural chemicals that the immune system uses to communicate between cells. Life-threatening bacterial or fungal infections developed in only half as many gamma-interferon patients compared with placebo recipients, the team found. |
