Figure 3
H. capsulatum infection in interleukin (IL)-5 transgenic mice. (a) Eosinophil influx in lungs of wild-type (WT) and IL5-transgenic mice before infection, as analyzed by flow cytometry. Flow cytometric plots representative of one of six mice from two independent experiments. Fungal burden depicted in log10CFU (b), and IL-4 protein concentration (c) in lungs of WT and IL-5 transgenic animals after 7 days of H. capsulatum challenge. Values are represented as mean±s.e.m., n=7–8 from 2 independent experiments. *P<0.05, ***P<0.005.
