Spleen and liver/body relative weights are increased in B ₂ R-deficient mice infected with L. (L.) chagasi. The body weight was measured in grams at day 30 and the spleen (A) and liver / body relative weights (grams of organ weight x 100 / grams of body weight) (B) were determined in B₂R^+/+ (C57) and B₂R^−/− mice (KOB2). Data represent the individual results for each group of mice (n = 3–5) of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences between groups as disclosed by the Mann Whitney analysis.
