TRPV1 Antagonism by Capsazepine Modulates Innate Immune Response in Mice Infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA

Figure 3

Effect of capsazepine on spleen F4/80⁺, F4/80⁺Ly6G⁺, and Ly6G⁺ cells. (a) Representative two-colour dot-plots for spleen F4/80⁺, F4/80⁺Ly6G⁺, and Ly6G⁺ cell populations from uninfected and Plasmodium berghei ANKA-infected mice (10⁵ infected RBCs/animal; i.p.). Spleen (b) F4/80⁺ and (c) F4/80⁺Ly6G⁺ cell numbers in uninfected and Plasmodium berghei ANKA-infected mice (10⁵ infected RBCs/animal; i.p.). Expression of IAb (mean fluorescence) on spleen (d) F4/80⁺ and (e) F4/80⁺Ly6G⁺ cell populations. Capsazepine (50 μg/animal, 2x day, for 6 days) was administered from 24 h after infection. Vehicle- (10% DMSO in saline) treated animals were used as controls. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, per group. compared with respective uninfected (control) groups.
