Antidepressants enhance production of interleukin 10 and significantly suppress the ratio of interferon gamma to interleukin 10, reported Marta Kubera, Ph.D., of the Clinical Research Center for Mental Health in Antwerp, Belgium, and her associates.

By "explain this" I'm note sure if you mean the signifiance, implication, mechanism .. but I'll give you the most basic interpretation.Antidepressant calms the neuro-immunologic system: reduce CNS inflammation and the CNS immunologic activity.
The signifiance of that in antidepressant mechanism of action is as of now is unknown. Some theories of CNS immunologic system activity/defiency implication in mental illness exist but are actually more hypothesis than theories for now.
