Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility as opposed to resistance of mouse strains (e.g., BALB/c vs C57BL/6) to Leishmania major has been attributed to a defective Th1 and a predominant Th2-response, resulting in increased IL-4 and IgE production, and decreased interferon gamma (IFN gamma) production, macrophage activation and elimination of parasites. Here we report dissection of genetic and functional aspects of susceptibility to...
