Fourth International Symposium on Emerging and Re-emerging Pig diseasesPorcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS)

Upregulation of IL-10 gene expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV).
Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Emerging and Re-emerging Pig Diseases, 2003, 83-84
In vitro, upregulation of IL-10 due to PRRSV has been shown to negatively alter the immune functions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). This study confirms the same effect of PRRSV in vivo: rapidly stimulating the production of an immunosuppressive cytokine such as IL-10, PRRSV hampers the host immune responses and induces only a weak innate immunity.
