Administration of Interleukin-15 Peptide Improves Cardiac Function in a Mouse Model of Myocardial Infarction

The objective of this current study was to assess whether administration of IL-15 peptide will also show protective effects in vivo. The data indicate that administration of IL-15 reduces cell death, increases vascularity, decreases scar size, and significantly improves left ventricular ejection fraction in a mouse model of myocardial infarction.
