Changes in the cytokine production profile are supposed to be responsible for the different courses of parasitic infections. Therefore, a big effort is made to understand the roles of cytokines produced by different cells during parasitic infections. In the following text we describe first experiments with Interferon-γ done in a natural model for filariasis, the filariae Monanema martini in Lemniscomys striatus. For the application of this cytokine to the animals we implanted osmotic pumps, which deliver IFN-γ continuously.
Key words: Interferon-γ / osmotic pump / lemniscomys striatus / Monanema martini
