The induction of MPO mRNA was correlated with MPO-positive cell infiltration and with the number of granulomas (Spearman r = 0.68 and r = 0.65, respectively, p<0.0001), and inversely correlated with hepatic parasite burden (Spearman r = −0.49, p<0.001), this correlation being stronger in WT (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene MPO and Granuloma.
