These results are in agreement with observations that macrophages activated by LPS, IFN-γ, TNF, or macrophages from early stages of infection in the murine model of T. crassiceps cysticercosis highly express the same pro-inflammatory cytokines but not alternative activation markers and because of that are considered classically activated macrophages [36,38,39]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is cysticercosis.
