IL-22 confers protection in IL-33R/ST2 deficient mice upon T. gondii infection Infection by T. gondii infection induces enhanced IL22 mRNA and protein expression in ST2 deficient mice (A, B) and increased IL-33 expression (B). Administration of rmIL-22 reduces MPO activity, CXCL1/KC levels, neutrophil recruitment (C) and severity of ileitis in B6 mice (D). By contrast, IL-22 antibody blockade in IL-33R/ST2 deficient mice increased MPO activity, CXCL1/KC levels and neutrophil recruitment (E) and enhanced severity of ileitis (F). Analysis at day 7 post-infection. Values are representative of two independent experiments.
