MLN IL4 238.8 241.4
Spleen IL4 60.8 60.3
MLN IL13 248.4 246.2
Spleen IL13 115.8 115.8
MLN IFNγ 255.6 255.7
Spleen IFNγ 247.5 247.5
IgA 115.9 114.3
IgE 282.1 283.9
IgG1 147.3 123.6
IgG2a 53.3 47.8
IgG2b 104.3 104.3
RMCPII 232.0 245.7

Smaller AIC values indicate a more parsimonious model. Shown in bold is where minimal models for number of worms versus worm exposure time differ by at least 2 AIC units.
