Figure 3From: The absence of MyD88 has no effect on the induction of alternatively activated macrophage during Fasciola hepatica infectionThe Th2 cytokine production bias in splenocytes was not significantly altered in the F. hepatica -infected mice in the absence of MyD88 in vitro. Splenocytes collected from C57BL/6 mice were stimulated with media alone, anti-CD3, or F. hepatica antigen (FhAg) for 72 h. The levels of IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13 in the supernate were measured indirectly via ELISA. The statistical significant differences were determined via one-way ANOVA followed by a Kruskal-Wallis test. *p < 0.05. Five mice were tested per group. Results are compiled from three independent experiments.Back to article page
