higher production <strong>of</strong> TNF-, IL-10 <strong>and</strong> IL-4. In the study the fractions below 10<br />

<strong>and</strong> 10-50 kDa did not induce in vitro production <strong>of</strong> IFN-g <strong>and</strong> IL-4. The fraction<br />

between 50-100 kDa stimulated splenocytes to produce TNF- <strong>and</strong> the fraction<br />

above 100 kDa mainly stimulated the production <strong>of</strong> IL-10.<br />

Conclusion: It is probable that the virulent strain <strong>of</strong> this microorganism induces<br />

the production <strong>of</strong> IL-4 as an immune escape mechanism.<br />

Financial support: Labimuno <strong>and</strong> FINEP<br />

Keywords: Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, caseous lymphadenitis,<br />

somatic antigen fractions.
