Infected TLR2−/− mice showed enhanced production of IL-12 p40 and IFN-γ compared with infected WT mice, as demonstrated by ELISA at the early stage (5 dpi) during infection, while infected AKT-blocked mice showed enhanced production of IL-12 p40, IFN-γ, IL-6, and TNF-α compared with infected WT mice. Here, TNF is linked to infection.
