Figure 5. G. lamblia is associated with significantly elevated tissue expression of Il4 and Il5 mRNA at 22 dpi, and malnutrition blunts this response.
Fold change increase in duodenal cytokine mRNA expression normalized to the geometric mean of beta-actin and HPRT relative to controls (RP: PBS) for (A) Tnfa, (B) Il8 (CXCR1/KC), (C) Ifng, (D) Il12, (E) Il17a, (F) Il22, (G) Il10, (H) Il5, and (I) Il4. *P < 0.05.
