Abstract
Since interleukin-6 (IL-6) may promote Th2 responses, we infected BALB IL-6-deficient (IL-6(-/-)) mice with Leishmania major. There was not a significant difference between the courses of infection (lesion size and parasite burden) in IL-6(-/-) and wild-type mice, but IL-6(-/-) mice expressed lower levels of Th2- and Th1-associated cytokines.Entities:
