[Effect of microbial derived agents on the level of blood cytokines, hematological status and survival of mice following combined radiation injury].

Mice models of acute radiation and combined radiation injuries (whole body irradiation + thermal burn) were used for the experiments. Blood serum response of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-3, and GM-CSF was evaluated after single injection of bacterially derived products (BDPs). As it was established, BDPs revealed different ability for cytokine increasing activity: Imuvert (extract from Serratia marcescens) > synthetic trehalose dicorynomycolate > heat-killed Lactobacillus acidophilus. The capacity of BDPs to enhance survival of animals did not depend on its cytokine-inducing and hematopoietic activities.
