BACKGROUND: In tuberculosis infections, the immune system is weakened and cannot produce enough cytokines to against the infection. b-glucan is a potent immunomodulator that induces cytokine production in various bacterial infections. This study aimed to determine the effects of b-glucan on the production of interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-12 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA. METHODS: PBMCs were isolated from 11 healthy subjects. PBMCs were treated with/without 5 μg/mL b-glucan and M. tuberculosis rpoB wild-type or mutant DNA. The production of IFN-γ and IL-12 in the supernatant was performed with enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: b-glucan increased significantly ( p 0.05, ANOVA test). CONCLUSION: This in vitro study indicates that b-glucan increases the performance of PBMCs to produce IFN-γ and IL-12, with/without induction of M. tuberculosis wild-type/ mutant DNA. KEYWORDS: b-glucan, IFN-γ, IL-12, M. tuberculosis, rpoB
