Summary
Recombinant Interleukin-1α (IL-1α), Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and recombinant macrophage colony-stimulating factor-1 (M-CSF-1) as well as combinations of IL-2 and M-CSF-1 were studied for their ability to protect seven-day-old C57BL/6 mice against HSV-1 infection. Treatment of the mice with IL-2, M-CSF-1 or combinations of IL-2 and M-CSF-1 significantly increased survival rates. Treatment with IL-1α (10 U and 100 U/mouse) was most effective in protection against HSV-1, resulting in significantly increased survival rates more than four times greater than the survival rate of the infected control group.
