MyD88 activation in cardiomyocytes contributes to the heart immune response to acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection with no effect on local parasite control
Fig 8
Comparative mRNA transcript levels of IFNg, TNFa, IL-10 and TGFb at the hearts of tamoxifen-treated MerCreMer+/+ and Mer+MyD88flox+/+ mice at different time points of infection with Y strain T. cruzi parasites.
Transcription levels were determined by RT-PCR and expressed as the fold change upon those in non-infected hearts. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test **p<0.01, *p<0.05.
