These antibodies were able to neutralize all the IL-10 producedin vitroby the APCs (Figure 3), and this blockage resulted in a similar increase in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines after Bb co-culture as seen in the IL-10-/-APCs (compareFigures 2and3)

These data indicate that IL-10 elicited from Bb-stimulated Ms and DCs results in decreased production of proinflammatory mediators and co-stimulatory molecules, and suppress phagocytosis-associated events that are important for mediating both innate and adaptive immune responses by APCs. == Introduction == Lyme disease is caused by the tick-borne spirochetal bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb)[1]. After deposition into the skin of susceptible hosts, this pathogen…
