Figure 7.
Total percentage of T-producing lymphocytes in the spleen of immunosuppressed mice, following SLA stimulation. Immunosuppressed and infected BALB/c mice were euthanized before (W6) and after (W9) Glucantime® treatment. The splenocytes were stimulated for 72 h with L. infantum SLA to determine, by flow cytometry, the cytokine-producing capacity of the T CD4+ and T CD8+ cells via a Boolean gating analysis. Results are shown as the total percentage of single- (+), double- (++) and triple- (+++) cytokine-producing CD4+ T (A) and CD8+ T (B) among T lymphocytes, before and after antimonial treatment.
