Abstract
In mice injected intravenously with Candida albicans, administration of anti-interleukin-18 (IL-18) antibodies increased the yeast load in the kidneys. There was no effect on the organ load with Candida when gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-deficient mice were treated with anti-IL-18 antibodies, suggesting that the protective effect of IL-18 is mediated through endogenous IFN-gamma.
