A natural model of Leishmania major infection reveals a prolonged “silent” phase of parasite amplification in the skin before the onset of lesion formation and immunity

Y Belkaid, S Mendez, R Lira, N Kadambi… - The Journal of …, 2000 - journals.aai.org

Heat-killed Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 suppresses naturally fed antigen–specific IgE production by stimulation of IL-12 production in mice

S Murosaki, Y Yamamoto, K Ito, T Inokuchi… - Journal of allergy and …, 1998 - Elsevier
Background: Food allergy is caused by production of IgE against dietary antigen induced by
TH2 response. IL-12 inhibits TH2 responses and strongly suppresses IgE production. We …

Interleukin-12 mediates resistance to Trypanosoma cruzi in mice and is produced by murine macrophages in response to live trypomastigotes

JC Aliberti, MA Cardoso, GA Martins… - Infection and …, 1996 - Am Soc Microbiol
