Pharmacological evidence supporting a role for IL-1, IL-2 and serotonin in the inflammation induced by Schistosoma mansoni Soluble Egg Antigen (SEA) in rat paws by C. M. F. Pacheco, C. A. P. Tavares, P. M. Z. Coelho, O. A. Rocha, J. M. M. Santos, F. R. M. Prado, J. N. Francischi

“…The increased oedematogenic response derived from SEA-challenge (10 μg) of rat paws derived from a local rather than systemic reaction, since it was not observed if the sensitization was in the contralateral paw or the peritoneal cavity of the animals. Chronic tre atment with inhibitors of IL-2 synthesis / release such as cyclosporin or dexamethasone during the sens itization phase reduced the oedematogenic response due to SEA challenge by 51% and 55%, respectively. …”
