contents In bounded $n$-dimensional domains with $n\ge 3$, this manuscript considers an initial-boundary problem for a quasilinear chemotaxis system with indirect attractant production, as arising, inter alia, in the modeling of effects due to phenotypical heterogeneity in microbial populations. Under the assumption that the rates $D$ and $S$ of diffusion and cross-diffusion are suitably regular functions of the population density, essentially exhibiting asymptotic behavior of the form \[ D(ξ) \simeq ξ^{m-1} \quad \mbox{and} \quad S(ξ) \simeq ξ^σ, \qquad ξ\simeq \infty, \] the identity \[ σ=m-1+\frac{4}{n} \qquad \qquad (n\ge 3), \] is shown to determine a critical line for the occurrence of blow-up. This considerably differs from low-dimensional cases, in which the relation \[ σ=m+\frac{2}{n} \qquad \qquad (n\le 2) \] is known to play a correspondingly pivotal role.
