• following L. mexicana footpad infection
|
• bone marrow-derived macrophage exhibit impaired ability to control L. mexicana growth compared with wild-type cells
• however, ability to control L. mexicana growth is restored by treatment with IFN-gamma and LPS or L-arginine inhibition

• following foot pad infection with Leishmania mexicana, mice exhibit increased parasitic burden and reduced IgG2a and IFN-gamma production compared with wild-type mice
• following shaved back rump infection with L. mexicana, mice exhibit earlier and more rapid lesion growth and expanded Th2 response (IgG1 production) compared with wild-type mice
