Interestingly, despite the differences found in IL-1β mRNA expression levels 12 and 16 weeks post-infection in WT infected footpads (Fig. 3e), we could not observe augmented levels of this cytokine in dLNs of WT in all periods measured when compared to gp91phox−/− dLNs (Fig. 4d). Here, CYBB is linked to infection.
