Figure 3. Effect of early phase BSE-CD treatment on cytokine mRNA expression in the liver of mice infected with S. japonicum.

Mice were treated as described in Fig. 1. The mRNA levels were expressed relative to the levels in uninfected controls following normalization with β-actin. All data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8 for each group). *P<0.05 versus corresponding infected mice or the cyclodextrin (280 mg/kg) group.
