immune system
• 75 days after infection Il4 mRNA expression in CD4+ cells is 100-fold higher than in wild-type
• 75 days after infection Ifng mRNA expression in CD4+ cells is more than 50-fold lower than in wild-type
• draining lymph node cells in L. major infected mice produce significantly more IL4 compared to IFNG in contrast to wild-type mice which express more IFNG than IL4
|
• do not show any delayed type hypersensitivity response to application of Leishmania antigen to the uninfected footpad 41 days after initial infection with L. major
|
• develop large lesions unlike wild-type 129S1/Sv mice after infection with Leishmania major
• 75 days after infection with L. major parasite numbers in the draining lymph nodes are increased 80-fold compared to wild-type mice
|
hematopoietic system
• 75 days after infection Il4 mRNA expression in CD4+ cells is 100-fold higher than in wild-type
• 75 days after infection Ifng mRNA expression in CD4+ cells is more than 50-fold lower than in wild-type
• draining lymph node cells in L. major infected mice produce significantly more IL4 compared to IFNG in contrast to wild-type mice which express more IFNG than IL4
