FOXP3 and infection: The results showed similar tendencies for dynamic Foxp3 and RORγt expression levels in the livers of C. sinensis-infected mice, which indicated that the relative levels of both Foxp3 and RORγt were significant higher than those in the NC group from the day of 14 PI to 56 PI (P<0.05, Fig 2B and 2C) and their expression levels in C. sinensis-infected mice showed the increased tendencies as the infection developed.
