Fig 6. Cells increase in the pleural cavity of infected mice and in the bronchoalveolar space of microfilaremic mice.

Fig 6

Pleural (A) and bronchoalveolar (B) cells were isolated from L. sigmodontis infected WT, ΔdblGata1 and Il-4ra-/-/Il-5-/- BALB/c mice at 70 days p.i. Cell phenotypes (SiglecF+ eosinophils, F4/80+ macrophages, Ly6G+ eosinophils, CD19+ B-cells and CD4+ T-cells) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (pool of 2–4 independent experiments for pleural cells; pool of 2–3 independent experiments for bronchoalveolar cells): n = 13–18 WT naive, n = 10–16 WT Mfneg, n = 21–28 WT Mfpos, n = 2 ΔdblGata1 naive, n = 6 ΔdblGata1 Mfpos, n = 6–15 Il-4ra-/-/Il-5-/- naive, n = 17 Il-4ra-/-/Il-5-/- Mfpos.
