At day 7 and 14, IL-6-deficient mice exhibited higher levels of MLNC eosinophilia than BALB/c mice, consistent with reports that IL-6−/− mice display enhanced lung eosinophilia during Schistosoma mansoni infection [28] (Fig. 2F and Supporting Information Fig. 1G). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and Increased total eosinophil count.
