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

Figure 5

Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of cytokine production at the site of infection. C57BL/6 WT (closed circles) and VDRKO (open circles) mice were infected with 10⁵  L. major parasites and their ears were harvested at the indicated time points. Quantitative RT-PCR was performed to determine the fold increase over uninfected WT ears for each cytokine. One representative of two independent experiments is presented. ^∗𝑃≤0.05. 𝑛=4 mice/time point.
