IL-12 and IFN-𝛾 levels of PECs from T. gondii-infected AhR-/- and WT mice. After 25 days of T. gondii infection, PECs from AhR-/- or WT mice were recovered and restimulated in vitro with 2.5 𝜇g/mL of STAg for 24 hours. The IL-12 and IFN-𝛾 levels were determined by ELISA-sandwich on supernatants recovered from cultures. Means + SE, 𝑛=5.^∗𝑃<.05 with respect to basal bars values. ^∗∗𝑃<.05 with respect to STAg stimulus, Student’s t-test.
