Inflammatory cytokines are decreased in the lungs of αDβ2-deficient mice in Plasmodium berghei ANKA-induced MA-ARDS. Wild type and αDβ2-deficient mice were infected with PbA and lungs were harvested at 7 days after infection. Cytokine and chemokine levels were measured in the homogenates by ELISA. a TNF. b IL-12. c IL-1b. d IL-6. e MCP-I. f RANTES. g KC. Each bar indicates the mean ± SEM. of determinations in lung samples from 5 individual animals.#P ≤ 0.05 compared to the respective control group; *P ≤ 0.05 compared to infected wild type (α +/+D ) mice
