We investigated the inhibitory effect of human immunoglobulin (h-Ig) on the development of coronary arteritis in a murine model of vasculitis induced with a Candida albicans water-soluble fraction (CAWS). CAWS was intraperitoneally injected to C57BL/6 mice for 5 days. Then h-Ig was administered according to various schedules. The animals were sacrificed in week 5, and the status of vasculitis in the coronary arteries and the aortic root was investigated histologically. The groups in which h-Ig was administered for 5 days from day 3 and from day 5 of the experiment showed a significant reduction in the incidence of panvasculitis. In addition, the scope and severity of the inflammation of the aortic root and the coronary arteries were reduced in both groups. In the group administered h-Ig for 5 days from day 1 and the group administered a high dose of h-Ig once on day 1 or day 3, no suppression of development of vasculitis was observed. The h-Ig acted by suppressing the generation and progression of vasculitis in this CAWS-induced murine vasculitis model.
