Inflammatory mediators in the CNS of parasite-infected Galectin-3^−/− and WT mice. The brains from mock control and M. corti-infected WT and Galectin-3^−/− mice were harvested at 1 and 3 weeks after infection, homogenized, and the protein level of host immune mediators measured by CBA using flow cytometric analysis (BD Biosciences). Results shown are mean ± SEM of 3 or 4 each infected and mock control mice from 2 or 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance (p values: t test). n = 6.
