Severe disease is characterized by pronounced hepatic egg-induced granulomatous inflammation in a proinflammatory cytokine environment, whereas mild disease corresponds with reduced hepatic inflammation in a Th2 skewed cytokine environment. This marked heterogeneity indicates that genetic differences play a significant role in disease development, yet little is known about the genetic basis of dissimilar immunopathology. To investigate the role of genetic susceptibility in murine schistosomiasis, quantitative trait loci analysis was performed on F2 progeny derived from SJL\/J and C57BL\/6 mice, which develop severe and mild pathology, respectively. In this study, we show that severe liver pathology in F2 mice 7 wk after infection significantly correlated with an increase in the production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-17, IFN-\u03b3, and TNF-\u03b1 by schistosome egg Ag-stimulated mesenteric lymph node cells. Quantitative trait loci analysis identified several genetic intervals controlling immunopathology as well as IL-17 and IFN-\u03b3 production. Egg granuloma size exhibited significant linkage to two loci, D4Mit203 and D17Mit82, both of which were inherited in a BL\/6 dominant manner. Furthermore, a significant reduction of hepatic granulomatous inflammation and IL-17 production in interval-specific congenic mice demonstrated that the two identified genetic loci have a decisive effect on the development of immunopathology in murine schistosomiasis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.0901504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,12]],"date-time":"2009-08-12T21:38:58Z","timestamp":1250113138000},"page":"3317-3323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Genetic Control of Severe Egg-Induced Immunopathology and IL-17 Production in Murine Schistosomiasis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"183","author":[{"given":"Patrick M","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunology Program, Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences, Tufts University School of Medicine , Boston, MA 02111"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mara G","family":"Shainheit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunology Program, Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences, Tufts University School of Medicine , Boston, MA 02111"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lindsey E","family":"Bazzone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura I","family":"Rutitzky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Poltorak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology"},{"name":"Immunology Program, Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences, Tufts University School of Medicine , Boston, MA 02111"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel J","family":"Stadecker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology"},{"name":"Immunology Program, Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences, Tufts University School of Medicine , Boston, MA 02111"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012811273326000_R1","first-page":"429","article-title":"Insights from human\/mouse genome comparisons.","volume-title":"Mamm.
