Infection with Mycobacterium avium induces production of interleukin-10 (IL-10), and administration of anti-IL-10 antibody is associated with enhanced resistance to infection in mice.

abstract：:Peptidoglycan (PG) turnover in exponentially growing Neisseria gonorrhoeae RD5 type 4 was accompanied by release of soluble PG fragments into the medium. Turnover of the D-[14C]glucosamine-labeled glycan moiety and of the meso-[3H]diaminopimelic acid (DAP)-labeled peptide region occurred at similar rates (ca. 35% per ...
