Impact of IL-33 on cell recruitment and histological response in the spleen of B6 mice during infection with L. donovani. The total number of B lymphocytes (a), CD4+ T cells (b), CD8+ T cells (c) and NK cells (d) were quantified by flow cytometry, in mice treated or not with rIL-33 and in IL-33 KO mice. Spleen weight at indicated time post-infection in B6 wt and IL-33 KO mice (e) and B6 mice treated with rIL-33 or untreated (wt) (g). Quantification of germinal centers (GC) superficies by microscopy using NDP view 2.4.26® software in B6 and IL-33 KO mice (f), B6 mice treated with rIL-33 or untreated (wt) (h). Data are expressed as mean ± SE for each group of mice (4–5 mice per group for each time point) (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; 2-way ANOVA comparison)
