Upregulated Expression of Cytotoxicity-Related Genes in IFN-𝜸 Knockout Mice with Schistosoma japonicum Infection

Figure 1

Parasite burden of IFNg KO mice and WT mice (𝑛=10, resp.) at 6 weeks after-infection with Schistosoma japonicum (compared with WT mice, **𝑃<0.01). (a) Total worms were recovered by portal perfusion at 6 weeks after-infection. (b) Eggs deposited in the liver were counted after digestion of the liver with 5% KOH. (c) Worm pairs were recovered by portal perfusion at 6 weeks after-infection. (d) Eggs deposited per worm couple in the liver. Data are representative of two independent experiments with the similar results.
