FIG 2.

Intestinal worm burden and cytokines in Nod DKO and wild-type (WT) mice with or without T. muris infection. Nod DKO and WT mice were infected with T. muris and were sacrificed on day 14 p.i. (A) Worm burden. (B) IL-4 levels in intestinal tissues. (C) IL-13 levels in intestinal tissues. Data are presented as box and whisker plots. Groups were compared using Tukey's multiple comparison posttest. The horizontal line within the box indicates the median, boundaries of the box indicates the 25th and 75th percentiles, and whiskers indicate the highest and lowest values of the results. **, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05; ns, not significant (n = 5 for uninfected groups; n = 7 for infected groups).
