1 In D-galactosamine-sensitized mice, SEB-induced weight loss but not hypoglycemia was more severe, resulting mostly in death within 24 h. Higher levels of biologically active TNF and IFN-gamma in serum were noted in these mice than in mice receiving SEB only. Galactosamine interferon gamma Mus musculus
2 The data obtained with anti-IFN-gamma antibody clearly indicate that endogenous IFN-gamma is instrumental in bringing about hypoglycemia and body weight loss in mice exposed to SEB but also that hypoglycemia is not a crucial determinant of mortality in D-galactosamine-sensitized mice. Galactosamine interferon gamma Mus musculus
