IFN-γ, IL-17A and IL-4 production in pregnant dams experimentally infected with Neospora caninum and in their foetuses.
Cytokine production compared in naturally infected and N. caninum experimentally infected dams, and in control pregnant dams.
Protective immunity against abortion could not definitively linked to IFN-γ levels in cell culture supernatants.
An important role was observed of an inverse IFN-γ/IL-4 balance in protecting against N. caninum abortion.
