We have previously reported that oral administration of hot water extract of Chlorella vulgaris (CVE) enhances resistance to Listeria monocytogenes through augmentation of Listeria-specific cell-mediated immunity in normal mice and mice with murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (MAIDS) caused by murine leukemia virus (MuLV) LP-BM5. To elucidate the mechanisms whereby CVE augments the cell-mediated immunity, we examined the expression patterns of mRNA for cytokines in normal and MAIDS mice given CVE orally after L. monocytogenes infection. The expression levels of IL-1 alpha, IL-12, GM-CSF, MIP and TNF alpha genes were significantly augmented in the peritoneal adherent cells by oral.
