Cytokine levels in lung tissue. Mice were subjected to infection with Sv-infective larvae and treated or not daily with Dexa. A group of uninfected mice was used as a control. Cytokine levels were determined by ELISA. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM of the optical density from two independent experiments with infected mice (N = 6–9/day) and uninfected mice (N = 6–7/day; P < 0.05). *Controls vs. either Sv + H₂O or Sv + Dexa. ^#Sv + H₂O vs. Sv + Dexa.
