Macrophage cytokines as correlate of differential resistance to <i>African trypanosomiasis</i>
BALB/c mice are susceptible to 'T. congolense' infection as they succumb within 8.4 ± 0.5 days while C57Bl/6 mice are relatively resistant as they survive up to 163 ± 12 days. Evidence suggests that macrophages play a central role in resistance to trypanosomiasis. The expression of mRNA an...
