Objective: To study the effect of recombinant BCG-Sj26GST vaccine of schistosoma japonicum on IL-6 produced by spleen cells of mice. Methods: In the first experiment
mice were immunized subcutaneously by the vaccine
with PBS serving as control
challenged with Sj cercariae after 8w of immunization and killed on 6w of the infection to separate spleens; in the second experiment
after subcutaneous and intravenous immunization by the vaccine respectively
4 mice were killed to separate spleens on 0

14 and 16w of immunization
spleen cells were stimulated by Sj26 or PHA
and the level of IL-6 in supernatant of spleen cells were detected by ELISA. Results: The level of IL-6 had no obvious change by immunization with the vaccine against challenge with Sj cercariae;dynamic observation showed that IL-6 reached the highest level on 8~10w of immunization. Conclusion: IL-6 may not be related to the protective immunity elicited in mice by vaccination with recombinant BCG-Sj26GST vaccine of schistosoma japonicum.
