mRNA expression of IFN-γ, IL-17, IL-10, TGF-β and FoxP3. mRNA expression of IFN-γ, IL-17, IL-10, TGF-β and FoxP3 in the spleen and heart of BALB/c mice (n = 5) during acute infection with (a, c, e) JLP and (b, d, f) Y strains. G1, G5 – uninfected, untreated; G2, G6 – uninfected, BNZ-treated mice; G3, G7 – JLP-infected, untreated mice and Y-infected, untreated mice, respectively; G4, G8 – JLP-infected, BNZ-treated mice and Y-infected, BNZ-treated mice, respectively. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. p < 0.05. (a, b) a – G4 vs. G1, G2, G3 and G8 vs. G5, G6, G7; b G3 vs. G1, G2 and G7 vs. G5, G6. (c-j) a – G3 vs. G1, G2, G4 and G7 vs. G5, G6, G8; b G4 vs. G1, G2 and G8 vs. G5, G6
