Interleukin-4 Is Essential for the Control of Microfilariae in Murine Infection with the Filaria Litomosoides sigmodontis

Litomosoides sigmodontis is the only filaria which develops from infective larvae into microfilaria-producing adults in immunocompetent laboratory mice. In this study we report that interleukin-4 knockout (IL-4 KO) mice have an up to 100-fold-higher and a significantly prolonged microfilaremia compa...
