A comparison of the cytokines produced by CD3⁺ MLN lymphocytes among the Candida-challenged groups. An unpaired t-test highlighted the statistical differences based on the frequency of CD3⁺ cells expressing IL-4, IL-17, TNF, and IFNγ among the C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and S. fibuligera (control) mono-inoculated mice and Candida co-inoculated mice. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.02, *** p < 0.001.

Cytokines	C.t. vs. C.a.	C.t. vs. (C.t. + C.a.)	C.a. vs. (C.t. + C.a.)	C.t. vs. S.f.	C.a. vs. S.f.	(C.t. + C.a.) vs. S.f.
IL-4	p = ns	** p = 0.016	* p = 0.031	** p = 0.007	** p = 0.015	p = ns
IL-17	p = ns	** p = 0.020	* p = 0.037	** p = 0.010	** p = 0.020	p = ns
TNF	*** p < 0.001	*** p < 0.001	* p = 0.049	*** p < 0.001	p = ns	p = ns
IFNγ	p = ns	* p = 0.046	p = ns	p = ns	* p = 0.032	*** p < 0.001
