We have previously demonstrated that Cmu infection in vitro and in vivo induces IL-13 responses [26], [38] and that transfer of Cmu infected murine bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs) into recipient mice subverts the in vivo immune response from a protective Th1 to a non-protective Th2 phenotype that may promote chronic infection [26]. The gene discussed is IL13; the disease is infection.
