PMID: 15804287
We have previously shown that macrophages from interleukin (IL)-12p40 gene knockout (IL-12/IL-23-/-) mice have a bias towards the M2 activation profile, spontaneously secreting large quantities of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1)...

PMID: 15270095
Challenge of 1-yr Trypanosoma cruzi chronically infected mice with trypomastigotes results in a consistent reduction of parasite dissemination that correlates with spleen activation and increase in the anti-T. cruzi effector...
