The role of Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 during experimental helminth infections in murine model by Mosala, Paballo Pertunia

“…Additionally, cysLTR1-/- mice exhibited impaired production of IL-13 in the lungs and draining lymph nodes compared with wildtype mice. Finally, there was reduced recruitment of effector CD4+ T cells and central memory CD4+ T cells in the lungs of cysLTR1 deficient mice compared to control mice. …”
