Results represent fasting body weights and plasma values at time of sacrifice. Data is from = 6–12 mice/group and represents mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and the null hypothesis was rejected for . Significant compared to Rag controls (). Significant compared to CD8+STAT4+/+ mice ().
