## Macrophage activation by interferon-y from host-protective T cells is inhibited by interleukin (IL) 3 and IL4 produced by disease-promoting T cells in leishmaniasis BALBlc mice are highly susceptible to Leishmania major infection. They develop a progressive fatal disseminating disease even with
IL-4 specifically induced IgE production by peripheral blood lymphocytes or by tonsil or spleen cells from healthy donors. IL-4-induced IgE synthesis was dependent on CD4+ T cells and monocytes and was blocked by IFN-y, IFN-a, and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2). These substances also inhibited IL4-induce
