LmABCB3 is essential for L. major virulence. C57BL/6 male mice were infected with 1 × 106 stationary-phase L. major promastigotes of control or LmABCB3 +/− L. major in the left hind footpad. a Inflammation progression (difference between inoculated footpad and contralateral uninfected footpad) was recorded weekly. The values represent the means ± SEM of 7 mice. b Images show representative pictures of the footpad inflammation at 3 week post infection
