Role in vivo for gamma interferon in control of pneumonia caused by Chlamydia trachomatis in mice.

RESUMO
In a model of pneumonia caused by murine Chlamydia trachomatis, depletion experiments with monoclonal antibody to gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) made mice more susceptible. Repletion experiments giving exogenous recombinant murine IFN-gamma were not consistently protective. IFN-gamma may be necessary but not sufficient in host defense against the organism.
