Abstract:
Oral infection of C57BL/6 mice with Toxoplasma gondii results in small intestinal Th1-type immunopathology mediated by local production of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and NO. To analyze whether the proinflammatory cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 play a role in the induction of immunopathology, IL-12p35/p40(-/-) and IL-18(-/-) mice were orally infected with T. gondii. Wild-type mice developed massive necrosis in their small intestines and died 7-10 days post infection. Even though IL-12p35/40(-/-) mice did n...     »
