Table 1.

Parasite burdens of WT (IL-4Rα^−/lox), pan T cell IL-4Rα-deficient (iLck^creIL-4Rα^−/lox), and IL-4Rα^−/− deficient BALB/c mice in the spleen, liver and bone marrow.

Strain	Mean parasite burden (+ SD)
	Spleen	Liver	Bone marrow
IL-4Rα−/lox	329 ± 87	2554 ± 334	645 ± 94
iLckcreIL-4Rα−/lox	285 ± 47	1040 ± 376**	494 ± 77
IL-4Rα−/−	509 ± 87	2279 ± 376#	875 ± 145

Mice (n = 5/treatment) were infected with L. donovani LV82 and parasite burdens were determined on day 30 post-infection.

^**p < 0.001 compared to WT control, ^**p < 0.01 compared to WT control,

^#p < 0.01 iLck^creIL-4Rα^−/lox compared to IL-4Rα^−/−.
