Doxycycline and Benznidazole Reduce the Profile of Th1, Th2, and Th17 Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Cardiac Tissue from Chronic Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected Dogs

Figure 3

Expression of Th17-like chemokine CCL20 and IL-17 in the cardiac tissue from dogs infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. CCL20 and IL-17 mRNA expression evaluated in left ventricle tissues. Data are representative of groups ( animals) in which expression of chemokines was normalized to the constitutive beta-actin. means difference () in relation to the infected group without treatment; means difference () in relation to the noninfected group.
