Levels of T-bet, GATA-3, and ROR-γt in the lungs of C. neoformans-infected WT and Gal-3 KO mice. WT (blue bars) and Gal-3 KO (red bars) mice were intratracheally infected with H99 yeast cells and samples of their lungs weighed and homogeneized. The levels of mRNA relative expression for T-bet (a), GATA-3 (b), and ROR-γt (c) in the lungs (3, 7, and 14 days post-infection) of infected mice were determined by real-time PCR, using the β-actin gene as control. The results represent the mean ± SD of five mice per group, from a representative experiment of three assays
