| physiological function | in filarial infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, worm loads are significantly reduced in gzmA/gzmB and in gzmB knockout mice during the whole course of infection, but enhanced only early in gzmA knockout compared with wild-type mice. GzmA/gzmB deficiency is associated with a defense-promoting Th2 cytokine and Ab shift, enhanced early inflammatory gene expression, and a trend of reduced alternatively activated macrophage induction, whereas gzmA deficiency is linked with reduced inflammation and a trend toward increased alternatively activated macrophages | Mus musculus |
