The Role of Vitamin D and Vitamin D Receptor in Immunity to Leishmania major Infection

Figure 3

Deficiency of vitamin D signaling does not modulate resistance in a susceptible mouse strain. VDRKO mice on a susceptible BALB/c background (open circles) or WT BALB/c (closed circles) were infected with 105  L. major parasites and the resulting lesions were measured at the indicated time points. Mean ± SE is presented; 𝑛 = 1 4 . One representative of two independent experiments is presented.
