To test whether stimulation of IL-25R within the innate immune compartment mediates adult worm expulsion and whether this is enhanced following IL-4Rα signaling, immune-deficient Rag1-/- mice were infected with H. polygyrus and injected with recombinant IL-25 late in infection (d14-17) and/or a complex of rIL-4:anti-IL-4 (IL-4C) on days 13, 16 and 19 post-infection (Figure 3A). This evidence concerns the gene IL25 and infection.
