Assessing the host-parasite interactions that induce IL-12p40 in Ai6 mice infected with Toxoplasma-Cre. (A) DCs in the peritoneums of Ai6 mice infected with Pru-Cre-tdTomato were analyzed at 3 dpi for IL-12p40 production. DCs that were IL-12p40+ were then divided into subsets and quantified based on Toxo-tdTomato and ZsGreen1 expression. The percentage of each subset was then quantified. (B) Monocytes were also analyzed for IL-12p40 production, and IL-12p40+ cells were analyzed for Toxo-tdTomato and ZsGreen1. (C) The numbers of untouched, Toxo+ ZsGreen1−, Toxo+ ZsGreen1+, and U-I DCs and monocytes expressing IL-12p40 in the peritoneum were quantified.
